IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH D. JOHNSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0554 MCE EFB P

vs.

J. YATES, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28

U.S.C. § 2254. On July 19, 2006, respondents filed a motion to dismiss. Petitioner has not filed

an opposition or a statement of no opposition.

A party’s failure “to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be

deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion and may result in the imposition

of sanctions.” L. R. 78-230(m). Failure to comply with any order or 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.” L. R. 11-110. The court may recommend this action be dismissed

with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if plaintiff disobeys an order or the Local Rules. See

Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1252 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not abuse discretion in

dismissing pro se plaintiff’s complaint for failing to obey an order to re-file an amended

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that, within 30 days of the date of this order,
