UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAWRENCE CHRISTOPHER 

SMITH, 

Plaintiff,

v.

ALLISON, et al 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:10-cv-01814-LJO-JLT

SECOND INFORMATIONAL ORDER - NOTICE 

AND WARNING OF REQUIREMENTS FOR 

OPPOSING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO 

DISMISS

(Doc. 109)

TWENTY-ONE (21) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this civil action. Defendants T. Byers and Langler filed a 

motion to dismiss on October 24, 2014. Pursuant to Woods v. Carey, 684 F.3d 934 (9th Cir. 

2012) and Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108 (9th Cir. 2003), the Court hereby notifies Plaintiff of 

the following rights and requirements for opposing the motion:

1. Unless otherwise ordered, all motions to dismiss shall be briefed pursuant to Local 

Rule 230(l). 

2. Plaintiff is required to file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to 

Defendants' motion to dismiss. Local Rule 230(l). If Plaintiff fails to file an opposition or a 

statement of non-opposition to the motion, this action may be dismissed, with prejudice, for 

failure to prosecute. Local Rule requires the opposition, or statement of non-opposition be filed 

not more than 21 days after the date of service of the motion. Id. However, Plaintiff is granted 

21 days from the service of this order to file his opposition or statement of non-opposition.

3. In responding to Defendants' motion to dismiss, Plaintiff may not simply rely on 

allegations in the operative complaint. Instead, Plaintiff must oppose the motion by setting forth 

specific facts in declaration(s) and/or by submitting other evidence. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 43(c); 

Ritza, 837 F.2d at 369. If Plaintiff does not submit his own evidence in opposition, the Court may 

conclude that Plaintiff has no evidence to oppose the motion and the case will be dismissed in 

whole or in part.

4. Unsigned declarations will be stricken, and declarations not signed under penalty of 

perjury have no evidentiary value.

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

Procedure, or the Local Rules of the Eastern District of California may result in the imposition of 

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
