IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLARENCE ROBERSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S 06-0484 GEB EFB P

vs.

ALICA LOPEZ,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

On September 18, 2006, defendant filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

12(b). Plaintiff has not opposed the motion.

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. 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. The court may

recommend this action be dismissed with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if plaintiff

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
