motion to transfer the case to the Eastern District of California. By order filed June 28, 2010, the

motion to transfer was granted and the motion to dismiss was denied without prejudice to

renewal before the transferee court.

particular, plaintiff is referred to this rule for information about opposing motions and appearing

for hearings. Information about available hearing dates may be obtained from Pete Buzo, the

courtroom deputy of the undersigned magistrate judge, at (916) 930-4128. Plaintiff is cautioned

that failure to file timely opposition or to appear at a hearing may result in a recommendation that

this case be dismissed for lack of prosecution and as a sanction for failure to comply with court

orders and applicable rules. See Local Rules 110 and 183.

The parties are advised that court appearances before the undersigned may be

made telephonically in most instances. A party who wishes to request telephonic appearance at a

motion hearing or status conference shall contact Pete Buzo at (916) 930-4128 no later than three

days before the date set for the hearing or status conference. A land-line telephone number must

be provided at that time.

IT IS ORDERED that defendants’ renewed motion to dismiss or an answer to

plaintiff’s first amended complaint shall be filed and served within fourteen days after this order

is filed. Any notice of motion must comply with Local Rule 230(a) and (b) and must include

evidence of conventional service upon the pro se plaintiff pursuant to Local Rule 135(b).
