Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

19 rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds on Plaintiff’s
20 First Amendment claim against Defendants Connie Gipson, Kimbrell, Swift, Allen,
21 Robicheaux, Graves, and Sexton. (ECF No. 16.)
22

On February 26, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a

23 claim. (ECF No. 51.) Plaintiff has not filed an opposition or statement of non-opposition
24 to Defendant’s motion, and the time for doing so has passed. Local Rule 230(l). The
25 Court will give Plaintiff one further opportunity to respond to the motion: Plaintiff must
26 file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss
27 within twenty-one (21) days from the date of service of this Order. If Plaintiff fails to file
28

1 an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the motion, this action may be
2 dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to prosecute and failure to obey a court order.
