UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN ANDREW HASSEL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DHCS MEDI-CAL PROGRAM BENEFICIARY 

SERVICES, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-05642-YGR 

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE 

TO OPPOSE DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO 

DISMISS

On April 17, 2015, Defendant DHCS Medi-Cal Program Beneficiary Services, et al., filed 

a motion to dismiss this lawsuit. (Dkt. No. 17.) If the Court grants that motion and dismisses this 

lawsuit, the lawsuit will be over and the plaintiff, Mr. Hassel, will have lost. 

The hearing on the motion to dismiss was originally scheduled for May 26, 2015 at 2:00 

p.m. in Courtroom 1 at the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California. 

Under this Court’s Civil Local Rule 7-3(a), Mr. Hassel was required to file either a brief 

opposing the motion to dismiss his lawsuit, or a notice that he does not oppose dismissal.1

 Mr. 

Hassel’s papers were due on May 1, 2015. As of the date of this Order, Mr. Hassel has not filed 

anything. As a result, the Court is considering dismissing his lawsuit for “failure to prosecute,” 

that is, a failure to meet deadlines and keep the lawsuit moving forward. 

The Court hereby extends Mr. Hassel’s time to file his papers. Mr. Hassel shall file an 

opposition to the Motion to Dismiss no later than May 26, 2015. Failure to file an opposition 

by that date will result in dismissal of this lawsuit for failure to prosecute. Any reply to an 

opposition must be served and filed not more than 7 days after the opposition is served and filed.
