UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEAN-MAX DARBOUZE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. NYO HLA,

Defendant.

No. 2:23-cv-3055 CSK P

ORDER

On September 24, 2024, defendant filed a motion for summary judgment pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Plaintiff did not oppose 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 . . . .” Local Rule 230(l). On June 5, 2024 and September 24, 2024, 

plaintiff was advised of the requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to 

oppose such a motion may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. See Woods v. Carey, 

684 F.3d 934 (9th Cir. 2012); Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 957 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc).

Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:

Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute or 

to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may move to 

dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the dismissal order 

states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision (b) and any 

dismissal not under this rule—except one for lack of jurisdiction,

improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule 19—operates as 

an adjudication on the merits.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days from the date 

of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion for summary judgment. 

Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) action dismissed for lack 

of prosecution; and (b) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with these rules 

and a court order. Said failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
