_________________________________/

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 9, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel responses to

19

several discovery requests. (Doc. 35.) However, as of the date of this order, Defendant has not filed

20

an opposition or otherwise responded to Plaintiff’s motion.

21

Local Rule 230(l) provides, in part, that: “Failure of the responding party to file written

22

opposition or to file a statement of no opposition [within twenty-one days after the date of service

23

of a motion] may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion . . . .” Local

24

Rule 110 also provides that a party’s failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be ground for

25

imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the

26

Court.”

27

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen (14) days of the date of this

28

order, Defendant shall (1) file an opposition or statement of no opposition to the pending motion to
1

1

compel; and (2) show cause in writing why sanctions should not be imposed for Defendant’s failure

2

to comply with the Local Rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
