FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL FRYE, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1377 LKK KJM PS

vs.

PHILIP MORRIS USA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

This action was referred to the undersigned as provided by Local Rule 72-

302(c)(21). On July 13, 2005, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. No opposition to the motion

to dismiss has been filed. 

Local Rule 78-230(c) provides that opposition to the granting of a motion must be

filed fourteen days preceding the noticed hearing date. The Rule further provides that “[n]o party

will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments if written opposition to

the motion has not been timely filed by that party.” In addition, Local Rule 78-230(j) provides

that failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of opposition to the motion or may result in

sanctions. Finally, Local Rule 11-110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may

be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the

inherent power of the Court.”
