UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLAUDE CARR,

Plaintiff,

v.

TED PRUITT,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:17-cv-01769-DAD-SAB (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO 

FILE AN OPPOSITION OR STATEMENT 

OF NON-OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(ECF No. 56)

Claude Carr (“Plaintiff”) is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 17, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. Defendant has not 

filed an opposition or statement of non-opposition to Plaintiff’s motion. 

In cases in which one party is incarcerated and proceeding without counsel, motions 

ordinarily are submitted on the record without oral argument. Local Rule 230(l). “Opposition, if 

any, to the granting of the motion shall be served and filed by the responding party not more than 

twenty-one (21), days after the date of service of the motion.” Id. A responding party’s failure 

“to file an 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.” Id.

Furthermore, a party’s failure to comply with any order or with the Local Rules “may be grounds 

for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the 

inherent power of the Court.” Local Rule 110. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen (14) days from 

the date of service of this order, Defendant shall file a statement of opposition or non-opposition 

to Plaintiff’s motion, and the failure to comply with this order may result in the imposition of 

sanctions. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
