ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil 

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On June 20, 2022, defendants filed a motion to dismiss this action on the grounds that 

plaintiff had failed to respond to their discovery requests.1

 ECF No. 41. Under the Local Rules 

of this district, plaintiff is required to file either an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to 

defendants’ motion. Local Rule 230(l). Plaintiff will be directed to do so.

 On April 28, 2022, plaintiff was ordered to serve completed and signed responses to 

defendants’ interrogatories and requests for production of documents. ECF No. 39 at 4. On July 

7, 2022, defendants filed a motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order. ECF No. 42. In 

that motion, defendants stated that plaintiff still had not responded to defendants’ discovery 

requests. Id. at 1-2, 4, 6.
