CARNEICE KATHRINE HALL-JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff,

vs. 

GOLDEN GATE REGIONAL CENTER INC., ET 

AL., 

Defendants. 

CASE NO. 19-cv-04177-YGR 

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO FILE 

AN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION 

TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. No. 19 

On December 18, 2019, defendant Golden Gate Regional Center Inc. filed a motion to 

dismiss plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). (Dkt. No. 19.) 

A hearing on the motion currently is set for February 4, 2020. 

Under this Court’s Civil Local Rule 7-3, plaintiff was required to file either an opposition 

to the motion to dismiss, or a notice that plaintiff does not oppose the motion. Civ. L.R. 7-3(a), 

(b). Plaintiff’s response to the motion was due on January 2, 2020. As of the date of this Order, 

plaintiff has filed neither an opposition nor a notice of non-opposition. As a result, the Court is 

considering dismissing plaintiff’s lawsuit for failure to prosecute. 

The Court hereby extends plaintiff’s time to file a response. Plaintiff shall file an 

opposition to defendant’s motion to dismiss (or a statement of non-opposition) by no later 

than January 27, 2020. Failure to file a response by that date will result in dismissal of this 

lawsuit for failure to prosecute. Any reply to plaintiff’s response must be filed not more than 7 

days thereafter. 

The Court further VACATES the hearing currently set for February 4, 2020. After briefing 

is complete, the Court may reset a hearing date if necessary. 

The Court advises plaintiff that a Handbook for Pro Se Litigants, which contains helpful 

information about proceeding without an attorney, is available in the Clerk’s office or through the
