IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL HUDSON,

 

Plaintiff,

vs.

TERRY BRIAN, et al.,

Defendants. 

_________________________________/

Case No. 1:08-cv-00249 AWI JLT (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFFTO FILE AN

OPPOSITION OR STATEMENT OF NO

OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS’ MOTION

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 1, 2010, Defendants Brian and Volker filed a

motion for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Although

Plaintiff was previously advised of the requirements for filing an opposition to motions for

summary judgment, (see Doc. 15,) Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to Defendants’ motion in

accordance with the Local Rules.

Plaintiff is therefore reminded that Local Rule 230(l) provides, in part, that: “Failure of

the responding party to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition [within

twenty-one days after the date of service of a motion] may be deemed a waiver of any opposition

to the granting of the motion . . . .” Local Rule 110 also 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” including, but not limited to, dismissal of the

Case 1:08-cv-00249-AWI-JLT Document 35 Filed 01/03/11 Page 1 of 2

action.

Accordingly, good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days

of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall file an opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary

judgment filed December 1, 2010 or shall file a notice of non-opposition to the motion. Plaintiff

is cautioned that failure to file an opposition will be deemed as a statement of non opposition and

may result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 41(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
