deadline, defendant filed its response to the complaint, 

entitling it a “Motion To Dismiss, or in the Alternative, Motion 

for Summary Judgment or Partial Summary Judgment.” ECF No. 10. 

The Motion was entirely dependent upon evidence external to the 

complaint and not subject to judicial notice. Plaintiff has 

neither objected to the untimeliness of defendant’s response, nor 

has he filed an opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition to 

defendant’s motion, nor has he requested additional time to 

respond to the motion. 

Accordingly, the court orders as follows: 

1. Defendant’s motion to dismiss, is DENIED; 

2. Plaintiff’s opposition or Statement of Non-opposition 

to defendant’s alternative motion for summary judgment or partial 

summary judgment shall be filed no later than January 13, 2014 at 

4:30 p.m.; defendant’s reply, if any, shall be filed no later 

than January 17, 2014 at 4:30 p.m.; the hearing on this motion is 

hereby CONTINUED to Friday, January 31, 2014. 

3. Defendant is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing, no later 

than seven (7) calendar days from the date of this order, why it 

should not be sanctioned $150, or suffer a default judgment, for 

violating the court’s order to respond to the Complaint within 21 

days. 

4. Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing, no later 

than seven (7) calendar days from the date of this order, why he 

should not be sanctioned $150, or suffer the dismissal of the 

Complaint, for violating E.D. Cal. R. 230(c), by failing to file 

an opposition or Statement of Non-opposition to defendant’s 

motion.
