UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KARL J. RUSSELL,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 15-cv-02280-BAS-KSC

ORDER FOR PLAINTIFF TO 

RESPOND TO DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTIONS

[ECF Nos. 78, 79]

v.

RICHARD LOPEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Defendants D. Doren, Richard Lopez, and Bill Strong have filed a Motion for 

Summary Judgment for Failure to Exhaust Administrative Remedies (ECF No. 78) 

and a Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 79).

In light of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, the Court advises 

Plaintiff to read the following warning, required by Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 

962-63 (9th Cir. 1998):

The defendants have made a motion for summary judgment by which 

they seek to have your case dismissed. A motion for summary judgment 

under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will, if granted, 

end your case. Rule 56 tells you what you must do in order to oppose a 

motion for summary judgment. Generally, summary judgment must be

granted when there is no genuine issue of material fact—that is, if there 

is no real dispute about any fact that would affect the result of your case, 

the party who asked for summary judgment is entitled to judgment as a 

matter of law, which will end your case. When a party you are suing 

makes a motion for summary judgment that is properly supported by 

declarations (or other sworn testimony), you cannot simply rely on what 

your complaint says. Instead, you must set out specific facts in 

declarations, depositions, answers to interrogatories, or authenticated 

documents, as provided in Rule 56, that contradict the facts shown in the 

defendant’s declarations and documents and show that there is a genuine 

issue of material fact for trial. If you do not submit your own evidence 

in opposition, summary judgment, if appropriate, may be entered against 

you. If summary judgment is granted, your case will be dismissed and 

there will be no trial

Because no briefing schedule is currently set, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff 

Karl Russell to file responses to Defendants’ motions (ECF Nos. 78, 79) no later 

than November 20, 2017. Defendants may file a reply to each of Plaintiff’s 

respective responses no later than 14 days from their entry on the docket. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 16, 2017
