UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANTONIO CORTEZ BUCKLEY,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

COUNTY OF SAN MATEO, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-05448-YGR 

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE 

TO FILE AN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S 

MOTION TO DISMISS; SETTING 

COMPLIANCE HEARING

On April 30, 2015, Defendant County of San Mateo filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit, 

and for a more definite statement. (Dkt. No. 30.) The hearing on the motion to dismiss was 

originally scheduled for June 16, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 1 at the Federal Courthouse, 

1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California. 

Under this Court’s Civil Local Rule 7-3(a), Mr. Buckley was required to file either a brief 

opposing the motion to dismiss his lawsuit, or a notice that he does not oppose dismissal.1 Mr. 

Buckley’s papers were due on May 14, 2015. As of the date of this Order, Mr. Buckley has not 

filed anything. As a result, the Court is considering dismissing his lawsuit for “failure to 

prosecute,” that is, a failure to meet deadlines and keep the lawsuit moving forward. 

The Court hereby extends Mr. Buckley’s time to file his papers. Mr. Buckley shall file an 

opposition to the Motion to Dismiss no later than June 12, 2015. Failure to file an opposition 

by that date will result in dismissal of this lawsuit for failure to prosecute. Any reply to an 

opposition must be served and filed not more than 5 business days after the opposition is served 

and filed. Civ. L.R. 7-3(c). The Court further notes that Buckley may seek assistance at the 

Court’s Legal Help Center. The Legal Help Center may assist persons who do not have lawyers if
