IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARK BARBOSA-CANDALENT,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0910 GEB EFB P

vs.

I. D. CLAY, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28

U.S.C. § 2254. On August 27, 2007, respondent filed a motion to dismiss. Petitioner has not

filed an opposition or a statement of no opposition.

A party’s failure “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 and may result in the imposition

of sanctions.” L. R. 78-230(m). Failure to comply with any order or 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.” L. R. 11-110. Petitioner is hereby admonished that the court may

dismiss this action with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if he disobeys an order or the Local

Rules. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1252 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not abuse

discretion in dismissing pro se plaintiff’s complaint for failing to obey an order to re-file an

amended complaint to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d

1439, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 1988) (dismissal for pro se plaintiff’s failure to comply with local rule

regarding notice of change of address affirmed).

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that, within 30 days of the date of this order,

petitioner shall file either an opposition to the motion to dismiss or a statement of no opposition. 

Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. 

Dated: October 12, 2007.
