UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH LEE WARD,

Petitioner,

v.

J. PRICE,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-cv-1406 JAM KJN P

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with an application for writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 12, 2016, respondent filed a motion to 

dismiss. Petitioner has not filed an opposition to 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 . . . .” Id. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner show cause, within 

thirty days, why his failure to oppose respondent’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 13) should not be 

deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion, and he shall file an opposition. 

Petitioner is cautioned that failure to respond to the instant order, and to file an opposition to the 

pending motion to dismiss, will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
