UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN PATRICK WINKLEMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1480 MCE CKD P (TEMP)

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a motion to dismiss this action. In 

light of defendants’ pending motion for summary judgment, the court will direct defendants to 

file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to plaintiff’s motion. If defendants file an 

opposition to plaintiff’s request, defense counsel is directed to include therein an explanation as to 

how defendants would suffer any “plain legal prejudice” if this court dismissed this action 

without prejudice. See Smith v. Lenches, 263 F.3d 972, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2001); Westlands Water 

Dist. v. United States, 100 F.3d 94, 96-97 (9th Cir. 1996) (the threat of future litigation, 

uncertainty because the dispute remains unresolved, and the expense incurred in defending 

against the lawsuit do not constitute legal prejudice).
