IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS J. WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. 2:12-cv-0318 KJN P 

vs.

C/O T. YOUNG, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28

U.S.C. § 636(c). On March 28, 2013, defendants filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 12. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. 

Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written

opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to

the granting of the motion . . . .” On January 10, 2013, plaintiff was advised of the requirements

for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may be deemed a

waiver of opposition to the motion. 

Local Rule 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.” Id. In the order filed January 10, 2013, plaintiff was also advised

that failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be

dismissed.

Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:

Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute

or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may

move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the

dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision

(b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of

jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule

19--operates as an adjudication on the merits.

Id.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the

date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion to dismiss. Failure to file

an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) pending motion granted; (b) action

dismissed for lack of prosecution; and (c) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply

with these rules and a court order. Such failure shall result in a recommendation that this action

be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

DATED: May 13, 2013
