IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENJI ARDE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2908 WBS EFB P

vs.

WONG, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 6, 2010,

respondent filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the petition is barred by the statute of

limitations. Petitioner has not filed an opposition or a statement of no opposition to respondent’s

motion to dismiss.

A responding 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. 230(l). 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. 110. The court may dismiss this action

with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if a party disobeys an order or the Local Rules. See

Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1263 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not abuse discretion in

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 without prejudice.
