(Doc. 52)
21-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this civil action. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on

18

April 30, 2014. Pursuant to Woods v. Carey, 684 F.3d 934 (9th Cir. 2012) and Wyatt v. Terhune,

19

315 F.3d 1108 (9th Cir. 2003), the Court hereby notifies Plaintiff of the following rights and

20

requirements for opposing the motion:

21
22
23

1. Unless otherwise ordered, all motions to dismiss shall be briefed pursuant to Local
Rule 230(l).
2. Plaintiff is required to file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to

24

Defendants' motion to dismiss. Local Rule 230(l). If Plaintiff fails to file an opposition or a

25

statement of non-opposition to the motion, this action may be dismissed, with prejudice, for

26

failure to prosecute. Local Rule requires the opposition, or statement of non-opposition be filed

27

not more than 21 days after the date of service of the motion. Id. However, Plaintiff is granted

28

21 days from the service of this order to file his opposition or statement of non-opposition.

3. In responding to Defendants' motion to dismiss, Plaintiff may not simply rely on

2

allegations in the operative complaint. Instead, Plaintiff must oppose the motion by setting forth

3

specific facts in declaration(s) and/or by submitting other evidence. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 43(c);

4

Ritza, 837 F.2d at 369. If Plaintiff does not submit his own evidence in opposition, the Court may

5

conclude that Plaintiff has no evidence to oppose the motion and the case will be dismissed in

6

whole or in part.

4. Unsigned declarations will be stricken, and declarations not signed under penalty of
perjury have no evidentiary value.
5. The failure of any party to comply with this order, the Federal Rules of Civil

10

Procedure, or the Local Rules of the Eastern District of California may result in the imposition of

11

sanctions including but not limited to dismissal of the action or entry of default.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
