ORDER RE BRIEFING ON

MOTION TO DISMISS AND ON

ATTORNEY’S FEES

In this action alleging failure to provide special-education services, plaintiff C.S. failed

to oppose the motion to dismiss or to file a statement of non-opposition. At the hearing,

however, plaintiff’s counsel stated that plaintiff opposes the motion. Counsel claimed that he

did not think he needed to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition because he had

notified the Court and defendants that he intended to file an amended complaint. He filed an

amended complaint two days before the hearing. 

Plaintiff had an obligation to file an opposition or to file a statement of non-opposition. 

He failed to satisfy that obligation. As a sanction, plaintiff is ORDERED TO PAY $900 to

counsel for defendants San Ramon Valley Unified School District, Bob Stewart, Contra Costa
