UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TOMMY HENDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. TSENG et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-0344 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 23, 2015, defendant Tseng filed a motion for summary 

judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. 

Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written 

opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to 

the granting of the motion . . . .” On April 30, 2014, plaintiff was advised of the requirements for 

filing an opposition to the motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may be deemed a 

waiver of opposition to the motion. 

Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for 

imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of 

the Court.” In the order filed April 30, 2014, plaintiff was advised that failure to comply with the 

Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed.
