)

 Defendants. )

Defendant Joseph M. Arpaio has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to

Rule 56, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

NOTICE--WARNING

THIS NOTICE IS REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE COURT1

The defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment seeks to have your case dismissed. A

motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will, if

granted, end your case.

Rule 56 tells you what you must do in order to oppose a motion for summary judgment.

Generally, summary judgment must be granted when there is no genuine issue of material fact-

-that is, if there is no real dispute about any fact that would affect the result of your case, the

party who asked for summary judgment is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, which will

end your case. When a party you are suing makes a motion for summary judgment that is

properly supported by declarations (or other sworn testimony), you cannot simply rely on what

your complaint says. Instead, you must set out specific facts in declarations, depositions,

answers to interrogatories, or authenticated documents, as provided in Rule 56(e), that

contradict the facts shown in the defendants' declarations and documents and show that there

is a genuine issue of material fact for trial. If you do not submit your own evidence in

opposition, summary judgment, if appropriate, may be entered against you. If summary

judgment is granted, your case will be dismissed and there will be no trial.

Local Rule 56.1, LRCiv, of the Rules of Practice of the United States District Court

for the District of Arizona also requires, in addition, that you include as a part of your

opposition to a Motion for Summary Judgment a separate statement of facts in opposition to

the Motion for Summary Judgment. 

(a) Any party filing a motion for summary judgment shall set forth separately

from the memorandum of law, and in full, the specific facts on which that party

relies in support of the motion. The specific facts shall be set forth in serial

fashion and not in narrative form. As to each fact, the statement shall refer to

a specific portion of the record where the fact may be found (i.e., affidavit,

deposition, etc.). Any party opposing a motion for summary judgment must

comply with the foregoing in setting forth the specific facts, which the opposing

party asserts, including those facts which establish a genuine issue of material

fact precluding summary judgment in favor of the moving party. In the

alternative, the movant and the party opposing the motion shall jointly file a

stipulation signed by the parties setting forth a statement of the stipulated facts

if the parties agree there is no genuine issue of any material fact. As to any

stipulated facts, the parties so stipulating may state that their stipulations are

entered into only for the purposes of the motion for summary judgment and are

not intended to be otherwise binding.

Provisions of Local Rule 7.2(e), LRCiv, Rules of Practice of the United States District

Court for the District of Arizona are as follows:

Subparagraph (e) of that Local Rule provides:

Unless otherwise permitted by the Court, a motion including its supporting

memorandum, and the response including its supporting memorandum, each

shall not exceed seventeen (17) pages, exclusive of attachments and any

required statement of facts. Unless otherwise permitted by the Court, a reply

including its supporting memorandum shall not exceed eleven (11) pages,

exclusive of attachments.

Subparagraph (i) of Local Rule 7.2 provides:

If a motion does not conform in all substantial respects with the requirements

of this Local Rule, or if the opposing party does not serve and file the required

answering memoranda, or if counsel for any party fails to appear at the time and

place assigned for oral argument, such non-compliance may be deemed a

consent to the denial or granting of the motion and the court may dispose of the

motion summarily.

It is Plaintiff's obligation to timely respond to all motions. The failure of Plaintiff

to respond to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment may in the discretion of the

Court be deemed a consent to the granting of that Motion without further notice, and

judgment may be entered dismissing the complaint and action with prejudice pursuant

to Local Rule 7.2(i). See Brydges v. Lewis, 18 F.3d 651 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam).

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

1. That Plaintiff shall have until September 8, 2006 within which to file a Response

to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, together with supporting affidavits or other

appropriate exhibits and a separate Statement of Facts.

2. That Defendant shall have until October 4, 2006 to file a reply.

DATED this 2nd day of August, 2006.
