UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARL SHELTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

PATRICK J. MULLIGAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02555-EMC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; AND 

ORDER VACATING HEARING

Docket No. 23

On February 19, 2016, Defendants filed and served (by mail) their motion to dismiss. 

Docket No. 23. Defendants again served their motion by mail on March 4, 2016. As Defendants 

served their motion by mail, Plaintiff’s opposition was due on March 18, 2016. See Civ. L.R. 7-

3(a) (providing that an “opposition must be filed and served not more than 14 days after the 

motion was filed”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d) (providing that, “[w]hen party may or must act within a 

specified time after service and service is made under Rule 5(b)(2)(C), (D), (E), or (F), 3 days 

added after the period would otherwise expire under Rule6(a)”). Plaintiff failed to file an 

opposition by that date.

In light of Plaintiff’s failure to file an opposition, the Court shall proceed as follows. 

Plaintiff is ordered to respond to Defendants’ motion to dismiss and to show cause as to why 

his case should not be dismissed for failure to file an opposition. Plaintiff’s response to this 

order to show cause shall be filed and served by April 28, 2016. If Plaintiff fails to file a 

response to this order to show cause by that date, the Clerk of the Court shall automatically 

dismiss this case, without prejudice, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The 

Clerk of the Court shall also close the file in the case.
