UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

REV. WESLEY CRAWFORD SR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

LISA M. MOORE, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-2725 JAM AC (PS) 

ORDER 

 This action was referred to the undersigned by Local Rule 302(c)(21). On July 20, 2015, 

defendant filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). ECF 

No. 17. Apparently in response, plaintiff has filed a letter with the subject line “Prison reform 

after parole has ended / Human Rights Violations.” ECF No. 18. However, plaintiff has filed no 

opposition, nor statement of non-opposition, to the motion to dismiss. 

 Local Rule 230(c) provides that opposition to the granting of a motion must be filed 

fourteen days preceding the noticed hearing date. The Rule further provides that “[n]o party will 

be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments if written opposition to the 

motion has not been timely filed by that party.” In addition, Local Rule 230(j) provides that 

failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of opposition to the motion or may result in 

sanctions. Finally, 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
