IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHAL PACHECO,

Plaintiff, CIV. NO. S-10-0085 GEB GGH PS

vs.

PAUL FINANCIAL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER AND

 /

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this action, referred to the undersigned pursuant to

Local Rule 72-302(c)(21). Defendant Paul Financial’s motion to dismiss is presently noticed for

hearing on the February 25, 2010, law and motion calendar of the undersigned. Opposition to

motions, or a statement of non-opposition thereto, must be filed fourteen days preceding the

noticed hearing date. E.D. Cal. L. R. 78-230(c). Court records reflect that plaintiff failed to file

opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the motion. 

Failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for imposition by the

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

Court.” E.D. Cal. L. R. 11-110; see Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995). 

Additionally, “[n]o party will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments

if written opposition to the motion has not been timely filed.” E.D. Cal. L. R. 78-230(c). Pro se

litigants are bound by the rules of procedure, even though pleadings are liberally construed in

their favor. King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987); Jacobsen v. Filler, 790 F.2d 1362,

1364-65 (9th Cir.1986). The Local Rules specifically provide that cases of persons appearing in

propria persona who fail to comply with the Federal and Local Rules are subject to dismissal,

judgment by default, and other appropriate sanctions. E.D. Cal. L. R. 83-183. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The hearing date of February 25, 2010 is vacated. Hearing on defendant’s

motion is continued to March 18, 2010.

2. Plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, no later than March 4, 2010 why

sanctions should not be imposed for failure timely to file opposition or a statement of nonopposition to the pending motion.

3. Plaintiff is directed to file opposition, if any, to the motion, or a statement of

non-opposition thereto, no later than March 4, 2010. Failure to file opposition and appear at

hearing, or to file a statement of non-opposition, will be deemed a statement of non-opposition,

and shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
