(“Plaintiffs’”) Complaint (Docket #1). Defendants seek dismissal 

for failure to state a claim, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 12(b)(6). Plaintiffs did not oppose the motion.1 The 

Court takes judicial notice of the documents requested by 

Defendants. 

Plaintiffs did not file an opposition or statement of nonopposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. Local Rule 230(c) 

requires a party responding to a motion to file either an 

opposition to the motion or a statement of non-opposition, no 

less than fourteen (14) days preceding the noticed hearing date. 

Local Rule 110 authorizes the Court to impose sanctions for 

“failure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules.” 

Therefore, the Court will sanction Plaintiffs’ counsel, George 

Holland, Jr., $250.00 unless he shows good cause for his failure 

to comply with the Local Rules. 

ORDER

After carefully considering the papers submitted in this 

matter, it is hereby ordered that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss 

is GRANTED, WITH PREJUDICE. It is further ordered that within 

ten (10) days of this Order, George Holland, Jr. shall either 

(1) pay sanctions of $250.00 to the Clerk of the Court, or (2)

 This motion was determined to be suitable for decision without 

oral argument. E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(g).
