IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDRE CRAVER,

Plaintiff, No. 2:11-cv-1344 MCE KJN P 

vs.

J. HASTY, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On December 26, 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. 

Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written

opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to

the granting of the motion . . . .” On July 20, 2011, and December 26, 2012, plaintiff was

advised of the requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a

motion may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d

952, 957 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409, 411-12 (9th Cir.

1988).

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

inherent power of the Court.” In the order filed July 20, 2011, plaintiff was also advised that

failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be

dismissed.

Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:

Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute

or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may

move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the

dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision

(b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of

jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule

19--operates as an adjudication on the merits.

Id.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the

date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion for summary judgment. 

Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) pending motion granted;

(b) action dismissed for lack of prosecution; and (c) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure

to comply with these rules and a court order. Such failure shall result in a recommendation that

this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

DATED: January 31, 2013
