UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN SEWELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. CORNWELL, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-cv-2988 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical 

needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. On January 31, 2020, defendants filed a motion for 

summary judgment. As set out in the court’s February 5, 2019 order, all motions shall be briefed 

pursuant to Local Rule 230(l). Rule 230(l) requires that an opposition to a motion be filed within 

twenty-one days after service of the motion. Those twenty-one days have passed and plaintiff has 

not filed an opposition to the summary judgment motion.

In the February 5, 2019 order, this court also warned the parties that the failure to file a 

timely opposition to a motion “may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion.” (ECF No. 

11 at 3.) This court will give plaintiff an additional thirty days to file an opposition to defendants’ 

motion for summary judgment. If plaintiff fails to file an opposition within that time period, or 

otherwise respond to this order, this court will recommend this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days of the date of this order, 

plaintiff shall file his opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment.
