UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND McGINNIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

B. ATKINSON, 

Defendant.

1:12cv02045 AWI DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

FAILURE TO OPPOSE DEFENDANT’S 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE

This is a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by Raymond McGinnis, a state 

prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff filed this action on December 17, 2012. 

The action is proceeding against Defendant Atkinson for violation of the Eighth Amendment.

On December 9, 2014, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment based on exhaustion. 

The motion included the requirements for opposing summary judgment. However, Plaintiff has not 

filed an opposition. 

The Court notes that Defendant’s motion was originally filed in December 2013 as a motion 

to dismiss. Plaintiff filed an opposition in February 2014. The motion was subsequently converted 

into a motion for summary judgment and Plaintiff was granted an opportunity to conduct Rule 56(d) 

discovery. Plaintiff was also afforded an opportunity to file a supplemental opposition, but he did 

not do so.
