UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BERNARD L. SMITH, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

HAWKINS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2222-KJM-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On November 4, 2015, the court recommended that this action be dismissed after 

plaintiff failed to respond to defendant’s motion to dismiss. ECF No. 35. On December 3, 2015, 

plaintiff requested additional time to respond to defendant’s motion to dismiss, and on December 

7, 2015, plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion. ECF Nos. 37, 38. Defendant now moves to 

strike plaintiff’s opposition. 

Good cause appearing, plaintiff’s request (ECF No. 37) is granted and his response to the 

motion to dismiss (ECF No. 38) is deemed timely filed. Accordingly, the November 4, 2015 

findings and recommendations (ECF No. 35) are vacated. It is further ordered that defendant’s 

motion to strike (ECF No. 40) is denied. 

 So ordered. 

Dated: December 23, 2015.
