An affidavit is a written declaration or statement of facts, made voluntarily, and confirmed by the oath 1

or affirmation of the party making it, taken before an officer having authority to administer such oath. An unsworn

declaration has the same effect as an affidavit, provided that it is dated and signed under penalty of perjury, as follows:

“I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.” 28 U.S.C. § 1746. Affidavits and declarations

must be made on personal knowledge and must set forth facts as would be admissible in evidence. See F.R.Civ.P. 56(e).

2

motions concerning discovery, motions pursuant to F.R.Civ.P. 7, 11, 12, 15, 41, 55,

56, 59 and 60, and motions pursuant to this Court’s Local Rule 11-110 shall be

briefed pursuant to this Court’s Local Rule 78-230(m). Failure to oppose such a

motion timely may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. Opposition to

all other motions need be filed only as directed by the court.

3. At some point in the litigation, one or more defendants may seek summary

judgment/adjudication as to some or all of plaintiff’s claims. Pursuant to Klingele

v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1988), plaintiff is advised of the following

requirements to oppose a motion for summary judgment/adjudication made by a

defendant pursuant to F.R.Civ.P. 56. Such a motion is a request for an order for

judgment in favor of defendant without trial. The defendant's motion will set forth

the facts that defendant contends are not reasonably subject to dispute and that entitle

defendant to judgment. To oppose the motion, plaintiff must show proof of his or her

claims. Plaintiff may do this in one or more of the following ways: (1) plaintiff may

rely on statements made under the penalty of perjury in the complaint if the

complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and

plaintiff calls to the court's attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff

relies; (2) plaintiff may also serve and file one or more affidavits or declarations1

setting forth the facts that plaintiff believes prove plaintiff's claims (the persons who

sign the affidavit or declaration must have personal knowledge of the facts stated);

(3) plaintiff may also rely upon written records but plaintiff must prove that the

Sworn or certified copies of all papers referred to in an affidavit or declaration must be attached to the 2

affidavit or declaration and served on the opposing party. F.R.Civ.P. 56(e).

records are what plaintiff claims they are ; and (4) plaintiff may also rely upon all or 2

any part of the transcript of one or more depositions, answers to interrogatories, or

admissions obtained in this proceeding. Should plaintiff fail to contradict

defendant’s motion with affidavits, declarations or other evidence, defendant’s

evidence will be taken as truth, and final judgment may be entered without a full trial.

See F.R.Civ.P. 56(e).

4. If there is some good reason why such facts are not available to plaintiff when

required to oppose defendant’s motion for summary judgment/adjudication, the Court

will consider a request to postpone consideration of defendant's motion. See

F.R.Civ.P. 56(f). If plaintiff does not serve and file a request to postpone

consideration of defendant's motion or written opposition to the motion, the Court

may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to defendant's motion.

Plaintiff’s waiver of opposition to defendant’s motion may result in the entry of

summary judgment against plaintiff. 

5. A motion supported by affidavits or declarations that are unsigned will be stricken.

6. The failure of any party to comply with this order, the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, or the Local Rules of Court, may result in the imposition of sanctions

including, but not limited to, dismissal of the action or entry of default.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
