ORDER

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action. On 

March 16, 2020, defendant filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

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 . . . .” Id. Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the 

Local Rules “may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or 

Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.” Id.

Finally, 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

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

an adjudication on the merits.

Id.

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 to dismiss. 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. 

Such failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
