IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY TYRONE GARRISON,

Plaintiff, No. 2:13-cv-0479 JAM KJN P

vs.

OFFICER BAUTISTA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

By order filed July 15, 2013, this court granted plaintiff’s request for voluntary

dismissal of this action (see ECF Nos. 12, 15), following plaintiff’s failure to timely respond to

the court’s order granting plaintiff additional time within which to reconsider his request (see

ECF No. 14.) Nevertheless, plaintiff now informs the court that he was mistaken, and seeks to

reopen this action. (ECF No. 16.) In deference to plaintiff’s pro se status, the court will grant

plaintiff’s request. However, plaintiff is informed that the court will view with disfavor any

future requests to deviate from the routine procedures of this court, particularly when premised

on plaintiff’s failure to abide by court orders.1

 Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules or an order of this 1

court “may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or

within the inherent power of the Court.” Finally, Rule 41(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,

provides:

DATED: July 26, 2013

Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute

or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may

move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the

dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision

(b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of

jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule

19--operates as an adjudication on the merits.
