IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAIMEY L. DUFF,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-1053 LKK GGH P

vs.

SOLANO COUNTY SHERIFF’S

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

On January 26, 2010, defendant Villasenor filed a motion to dismiss for plaintiff’s

alleged failure to exhaust administrative remedies as to plaintiff’s allegations against this

defendant. By Order filed on November 16, 2009, pursuant to Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108,

1120 n.14 (9th Cir. 2003), plaintiff was advised of the requirements for opposing a motion to

dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies made by a defendant pursuant to nonenumerated Rule 12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. By Order filed on March 17,

2010, plaintiff was granted a generous extension of time until April 12, 2010, to file a response to

defendant Villasenor’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiff was cautioned that failure to oppose the

motion would be deemed a waiver of opposition. Plaintiff has filed no opposition, although

court records reflect plaintiff was properly served with notice of the motion and the order

granting an extension of time to file opposition at plaintiff’s address of record. 

In the instant case, plaintiff has been cautioned that his failure to oppose the

motion to dismiss would be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. Based on plaintiff’s

failure to file an opposition, the court concludes that plaintiff has consented to defendant

Villasenor’s motion to dismiss. In the alternative, the court finds that defendant Villasenor’s

motion has merit.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that defendant Villasenor’s

motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies as to plaintiff’s allegations

against this defendant be granted and defendant Villasenor be dismissed from this action. See

Local Rule 110.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen

days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations.” Any reply to the objections

shall be served and filed within seven days after service of the objections. The parties are

advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the

District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
