IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMY JONES,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-2661 KJM EFB P

vs.

BALLESTEROS, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On November 30, 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment and

informed plaintiff of the requirements for opposing a motion for summary judgment. See Fed. R.

Civ. P. 56; Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-63 (9th Cir. 1998). Despite numerous

extensions of time, plaintiff has not filed an opposition or a statement of no opposition to the

motion. Plaintiff has been warned that failure to do so could result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). On April 15, 2013, the court granted plaintiff a

final 30-day extension of time to respond to defendants’ motion. The time for acting has passed

and plaintiff has not filed an opposition, a statement of no opposition, or otherwise responded to

the court’s order.
