UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSEPH LAVERY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

B. DHILLON, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-2083 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 On February 3, 2020, defendant Dhillon filed a motion for summary judgment pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. ECF No. 210. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. 

 Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written 

opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to 

the granting of the motion . . . .” On December 24, 2014, plaintiff was advised of the 

requirements for filing an opposition to the motion and that failure to oppose such a motion might 

be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion.1

 See ECF No. 36 at 3.

enclosed with this order. Plaintiff should note that the Rand notice he will need to properly 

respond to defendant Dhillon’s motion for summary judgment is attached to the order. See ECF 

No. 36 at 6. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment also contains a copy of the Rand notice. 

See ECF No. 210-4.

 Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for 

imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of 

the Court.” In the order filed December 24, 2014, plaintiff was advised that failure to comply 

with the Local Rules might result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed. See ECF 

No. 36 at 6. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Within thirty days of the date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to 

defendant Dhillon’s motion for summary judgment. Failure to file an opposition will be deemed 

as a statement of non-opposition and shall result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b); and 

 2. The Clerk of Court shall send plaintiff a copy of the service order in this case dated 

December 24, 2014. See ECF No. 36.
