MICHAEL BRECHT,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0859 KJM

Defendant. ORDER

Calendared for hearing on September 27, 2006 is plaintiff’s motion to dismiss

defendant BNSF Railway Company. The third party defendant in this action has failed to file

opposition to the motion. 

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.”
