Plaintiff,

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF

TO FILE OPPOSITION AND RESETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

REGARDING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR SUMMARY

JUDGMENT

[Doc. No. 64]

Defendants.

On June 1, 2010, Defendants Tait, Huff, Davis, Flores, Berry and Rendon filed a Motion

On June 9, 2010, the Court issued a briefing schedule and provided Plaintiff with notice

regarding his obligations to oppose summary judgment pursuant to Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849

F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1988) and Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc) [Doc.

No. 65]. Plaintiff was directed to file and serve his Opposition or Statement of Non-Opposition

no later than July 12, 2010; Defendants were directed to Reply by July 19, 2010.

 Correctional officials at California State Prison–Sacramento are hereby directed not to limit

the amount of copies necessary for Plaintiff to prepare his Opposition which is “necessary to advance

[this] litigation.” CAL. CODE REGS., tit. 15 § 3162(c) (2009).

K:\COMMON\EVERYONE\_EFILE-PROSE\H\08cv1031-EDCA-reset-briefing-MSJ.wpd 2 E.D. Cal. Civil Case No. 1:08cv01031-MLH-JMA

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s June 9, 2010 Order. However, he has since

filed a Motion to Compel and a Request for Sanctions, which indicate a desire to further

prosecute this action and an intention to garner further evidence in support of his claims [Doc.

No. 66]. 

Therefore, because Plaintiff remains incarcerated and is proceeding without counsel, the

Court hereby reminds him of his obligation to oppose Defendants’ Motion for Summary

Judgment and sua sponte extends the time in which he may do so. See Rand, 154 F.3d at 960

(reaffirming requirement that a “pro se prisoner be informed of his or her right to file

counter-affidavits or other responsive evidentiary materials and be alerted to the fact that the

failure to do so might result in the entry of summary judgment against [him].”)

Conclusion and Order

Accordingly, the Court hereby DIRECTS Plaintiff to file with the Court and serve upon

Defendants an Opposition (including any supporting documents) to their Motion for Summary

Judgment [Doc. No. 64] on or before Thursday, August 12, 2010.1

 Defendants’ Reply to any

Opposition Plaintiff submits must be filed and served no later than Thursday, August 19, 2010.

Thereafter, the Court will consider Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment as submitted on

the record. Unless otherwise ordered, no appearances are required and no oral argument will be

heard. See E. D. CAL. CIVLR 230(l).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 21, 2010
