P. 12(b)(6) and non-enumerated Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b). Pursuant to the Order, filed on July 9, 2010, defendants, on July 12, 2010, filed an amended proof of service indicating that plaintiff had been re-served with this motion at his most current address.

deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. In addition, Local Rule 110 states that "[f]ailure of ...a party to comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, plaintiff's failure to oppose should be deemed a waiver of opposition to the granting of the motion. Alternatively, the court has reviewed the motion and finds that it has merit. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that: 1. Defendants' May 12, 2010, motion to dismiss be granted; and 2. This action be dismissed. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within fourteen days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
