Plaintiff Norval Williams (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on

plaintiff’s complaint, filed May 18, 2004, against defendants Zamora, Fugate, Escamilla, Fiero, and

Chrones for use of excessive force, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. On March 9, 2006,

defendants Zamora, Fugate, Escamilla, and Fiero filed a motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust the

available administrative remedies. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b). On April 21, 2006, defendant Chrones

filed a request to join in the motion. Defendant’s request shall be granted.

More than twenty-one days have passed and plaintiff has not filed an opposition or a

statement of non-opposition to the motion. Local Rule 78-230(m). Plaintiff is required to file a

response to the motion within thirty days from the date of service of this order. If plaintiff fails to

file a response, this action shall be dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to obey a court order and

failure to prosecute.

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant Chrones’ request to join in the pending motion to dismiss is GRANTED;
