The defendants may make a motion for summary judgment by which they

seek 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. (See Rand v.

Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-63 (9th Cir. 1998). 

c. If defendants wish to file a reply brief, the reply brief must be filed and

served no later than September 5, 2008. Upon the filing of the reply, or the passing of that

deadline for a reply, the matter will be deemed submitted on the papers. 

2. If plaintiff wants to file a motion for summary judgment, the parties must adhere

to the same schedule, i.e., plaintiff's motion is due on July 11, 2008, defendants' reply is due

August 15, 2008, and plaintiff's reply is due on September 5, 2008. 

3. All communications by plaintiff with the court (including letters) must be served

on a defendant's counsel by mailing a true copy of the document to defendant's counsel. The

court may disregard any document which a party files but fails to send a copy of to his opponent.

4. Plaintiff is responsible for prosecuting this case. Plaintiff must promptly keep the

court and defense counsel informed of any change of address and must comply with the court's

orders in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action for failure

to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
