ANDREW GUILLORY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SHERIFF, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. 05-04395 CW

ORDER EXTENDING

TIME FOR

PLAINTIFF TO FILE

OPPOSITION TO

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

MOTION

On October 23, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion for Summary

Judgment. Plaintiff's opposition was due sixty days thereafter. 

To date, Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to the motion. 

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have until July 27,

2007, to file his opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary

Judgment. Failure to file an opposition may result in dismissal of

this case for failure to prosecute. The Ninth Circuit has held

that the following notice should be given to pro se Plaintiffs

facing a summary judgment motion:

The defendants have made 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

defendant's 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 in favor of

defendants, your case will be dismissed and there will be

no trial.

See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 963 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc).

Plaintiff is advised to read Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure and Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.

Ct. 2548, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265 (1986) (party opposing summary judgment

must come forward with evidence showing triable issues of material

fact on every essential element of his claim). Plaintiff is

cautioned that because he bears the burden of proving his

allegations in this case, he must be prepared to produce evidence

in support of those allegations when he files his opposition to

Defendants' dispositive motion. Such evidence may include sworn

declarations from himself and other witnesses to the incident, and

copies of documents authenticated by sworn declaration. Plaintiff

will not be able to avoid summary judgment simply by repeating the

allegations of his complaint.

If Defendants wish to file a reply brief, they shall do so no

later than thirty (30) days after the date Plaintiff's opposition

is filed.

The motion shall be deemed submitted as of the date the reply

brief is due. No hearing will be held on the motion unless the

Court so orders at a later date.

All communications by Plaintiff with the Court must be served

on Defendants, or Defendants' counsel once counsel has been

designated, by mailing a true copy of the document to Defendants or

Defendants' counsel.

It is Plaintiff's responsibility to prosecute this case. 

Plaintiff must keep the Court informed of any change of address and

must comply with the Court's orders in a timely fashion. 

Extensions of time are not favored, though reasonable

extensions will be granted. Any motion for an extension of time

must be filed no later than seven days prior to the deadline sought

to be extended.
