motion by January 15, 2014. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(c).

of non-opposition to the pending motion. The order also continued the hearing on the motion to

 On February 5, 2014, plaintiff filed a response to the January 22 order to show cause. 

Plaintiff explains that she was unaware that she was required to file a response to the motion for 

summary judgment. She further states that she will file a statement of opposition or a statement 

of non-opposition by the March 26, 2014 deadline. In light of plaintiff’s representations and pro 

se status, the January 22, 2014 order to show cause is discharged and no sanctions will be 

imposed. 

 Plaintiff is admonished that failure to file an opposition to the pending motion will be 

deemed a statement of non-opposition thereto, and may result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed for lack of prosecution and/or failure to comply with court orders and this 

court’s Local Rules. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. L.R. 110. 

 So Ordered. 

DATED: February 6, 2014.
