7. Unless otherwise ordered, all motions to dismiss, motions for summary

judgment, motions concerning discovery, motions pursuant to Rules 7, 11, 12, 15, 41, 55, 56, 59

and 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and motions pursuant to Local Rule 11-110 shall

be briefed pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(m). Failure to oppose such a motion timely may be

deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. Opposition to all other motions need be filed only

as directed by the court.

8. If plaintiff is released from prison at any time during the pendency of this case,

any party may request application of other provisions of Local Rule 78-230 in lieu of Local Rule

78-230(m). In the absence of a court order granting such a request, the provisions of Local Rule

78-230(m) will govern all motions described in #7 above regardless of plaintiff’s custodial status. 

See Local Rule 1-102(d).

9. Pursuant to Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 n.14 (9th Cir. 2003),

plaintiff is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion to dismiss for failure to

exhaust administrative remedies made by defendant pursuant to non-enumerated Rule 12(b) of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Such a motion is a request for dismissal of unexhausted

claims without prejudice. The defendant may submit affidavits or declarations under penalty of

perjury and admissible documentation to support the motion to dismiss. To oppose the motion,

plaintiff may likewise file declarations under penalty of perjury and admissible documentation. 

Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the penalty of perjury in the complaint if the

complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and plaintiff calls to

the court’s attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff relies. Plaintiff may serve

and file one or more affidavits or declarations by other persons who have personal knowledge of

relevant matters. Plaintiff may also rely upon written records, but plaintiff must prove that the

records are what plaintiff claims they are. If plaintiff fails to contradict defendant’s evidence

with admissible evidence, the court may rely on the defendant’s evidence. In the event both sides

submit matters outside the pleadings, the court may look beyond the pleadings and decide

disputed issues of fact. If plaintiff does not serve and file a written opposition to the motion, the

court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to the defendant’s motion. If the 

defendant’s motion to dismiss, whether opposed or unopposed, is granted, plaintiff’s

unexhausted claims will be dismissed without prejudice.

10. Pursuant to Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 957 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc),

cert. denied, 527 U.S. 1035 (1999), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1988),

plaintiff is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion for summary judgment

made by defendants pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Such a motion

is a request for an order for judgment in favor of defendants without trial. A defendant’s motion

for summary judgment will set forth the facts that the defendants contend are not reasonably

subject to dispute and that entitle the defendants to judgment. To oppose a motion for summary

judgment, plaintiff must show proof of his or her claims. Plaintiff may do this in one or more of

the following ways. Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the penalty of perjury in the

complaint if the complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and

plaintiff calls to the court’s attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff relies. 

Plaintiff may serve and file one or more affidavits or declarations setting forth the facts that

plaintiff believes prove plaintiff’s claims; the person who signs an affidavit or declaration must

have personal knowledge of the facts stated. Plaintiff may rely upon written records, but plaintiff

must prove that the records are what plaintiff claims they are. Plaintiff may rely upon all or any

part of the transcript of one or more depositions, answers to interrogatories, or admissions

obtained in this proceeding. If plaintiff fails to contradict the defendants’ evidence with

counteraffidavits or other admissible evidence, the defendants’ evidence may be taken as the

truth and the defendants’ motion for summary judgment granted. If there is some good reason

why such facts are not available to plaintiff when required to oppose a motion for summary

judgment, the court will consider a request to postpone considering the defendants’ motion. If

plaintiff does not serve and file a written opposition to the motion or a request to postpone

consideration of the motion, the court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to

the defendants’ motion. If the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, whether opposed or

unopposed, is granted, judgment will be entered for the defendants without a trial and the case

will be closed.

11. A motion or opposition supported by unsigned affidavits or declarations will

be stricken.

12. Each party shall keep the court informed of a current address at all times

while the action is pending. Any change of address must be reported promptly to the court in a

separate document captioned for this case and entitled “Notice of Change of Address.” A notice

of change of address must be properly served on other parties. Pursuant to Local Rule 83-182(f),

service of documents at the record address of a party is fully effective. Failure to inform the

court of a change of address may result in the imposition of sanctions including dismissal of the

action.

13. The Clerk of the Court shall serve upon plaintiff a copy of the Local Rules of

Court.

14. The failure of any party to comply with this order, the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, or the Local Rules of Court may result in the imposition of sanctions including, but

not limited to, dismissal of the action or entry of default. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11; Local Rule 11-110.
