ORDER

Defendants City of Mesa Police Officers Lien and Tarango, have filed a Motion to

by the Court, a motion including its supporting memorandum, and the response

memorandum shall not exceed eleven (11) pages, exclusive of attachments.

(i) Briefs or Memoranda of Law; Effect of Non-Compliance. If a

motion does not conform in all substantial respects with the requirements of

this Local Rule, or if the unrepresented party or counsel does not serve and file

the required answering memoranda, or if the unrepresented party or counsel

fails to appear at the time and place assigned for oral argument, such

non-compliance may be deemed a consent to the denial or granting of the

motion and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily.

LRCiv 7.2.

The Court may, in its discretion, deem your failure to respond to Defendants’ Motion

to Dismiss as consent to the granting of that Motion without further notice, and the Court

may enter judgment and dismiss this action pursuant to Rule 7.2(i) of the Local Rules of

Civil Procedure. See Brydges v. Lewis, 18 F.3d 651 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff must file a response to Defendants’ Motion to

Dismiss, on or before August 27, 2007.

service of Plaintiff’s response.

decision without oral argument on the day following the date set for filing a reply unless

otherwise ordered by the Court.
