UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEON E. MORRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GUFFEE et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1171 TLN DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 12, 2015, the court issued an order requiring plaintiff to file his

opposition, if any, to the two pending motions to dismiss filed by defendants in this case. 

Plaintiff has since filed an “answer” to defendant Guffee’s motion to dismiss stating that he never 

received the defendant’s motion. In the interest of justice, the court will provide plaintiff with a 

courtesy copy of defendant Guffee’s motion to dismiss and grant him fourteen final days to file 

an opposition to defendant Guffee’s motion. The court will not grant plaintiff any further 

extensions of time for this purpose.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve plaintiff with a courtesy copy of defendant 

Guffee’s motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 33); and

2. Within fourteen days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall file an 

opposition to defendant Guffee’s motion to dismiss. Failure to file an opposition will be deemed 

a statement of non-opposition and shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed 

pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Alternatively, if plaintiff no longer wishes to 

pursue his claims against defendant Guffee he may file a request to voluntarily dismiss this 

defendant.
