IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH JAEGER, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-05-0095 FCD KJM PS

vs.

PAMELA ROGERS, et al,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Presently calendared for hearing on May 25, 2005 is defendants’ motion to

dismiss. Plaintiffs have filed a notice in which they assert that they have not received a copy of

the motion and documents in support. The proof of service attached to the motion to dismiss

indicates plaintiffs were properly served by mail and complies with Local Rule 5-135. It appears,

however, that based on plaintiff’s late receipt of the documents pertaining to the previously

noticed motion to dismiss, that continuance of the hearing is appropriate.

Plaintiffs are advised of the following. 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.”

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s request for special service by registered or certified mail is denied.

2. The hearing date of May 25, 2005 is vacated. Hearing on defendant’s motion is

continued to June 1, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom no. 26. 

3. Opposition to the motion shall be filed no later than May 18, 2005. Failure to

file opposition and appear at the hearing will be deemed as a statement of non-opposition and

shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 41(b).

DATED: May 10, 2005.
