ORDER
/
16
Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in Woods v. Carey, No. 09-15548
17
(9th Cir. July 6, 2012), the court hereby reminds plaintiff of the following requirements for
18
opposing the motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies filed by defendants
19
on July 23, 2012.1 (Dkt. No. 28.)
20
Pursuant to Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 n.14 (9th Cir. 2003), the court
21
hereby informs plaintiff of the following requirements for opposing a motion to dismiss for
22
failure to exhaust administrative remedies pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b). Such a motion is a
23
request that the court dismiss without prejudice any unexhausted claims. The moving party may

Defendants also argue that the Second Amended Complaint fails to state a claim upon
which relief may be granted. Defendants provided Woods notice in their Notice of Motion (Dkt.
No. 23 at 2-3), and the court provides this independent notice in an abundance of caution.
1
1
submit affidavits or declarations under penalty of perjury and admissible documents to support
2
the motion to dismiss. To oppose the motion, plaintiff may likewise file declarations under
3
penalty of perjury and admissible documents. Plaintiff may rely on plaintiff’s statements made
4
under penalty of perjury in the complaint if the complaint shows that plaintiff has personal
5
knowledge of the matters stated and plaintiff specifies the parts of the complaint on which
6
plaintiff relies. Plaintiff may also rely on one or more affidavits or declarations sworn to by other
7
persons who have personal knowledge of relevant matters. In addition, plaintiff may rely on
8
written records, but plaintiff must prove that the records are what plaintiff asserts they are. If
9
plaintiff fails to contradict defendant’s evidence with admissible evidence, the court may rely on
10
defendant’s evidence. In the event both sides submit matters outside of the pleadings, the court
11
may look beyond the pleadings and decide disputed issues of fact. If plaintiff does not file a
12
written opposition to the motion, the court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of
13
opposition to the motion. See L.R. 230(l). If the court grants the motion to dismiss, whether
14
opposed or unopposed, plaintiff’s unexhausted claims will be dismissed without prejudice.
15
Plaintiff has now received the notice required under Woods v. Carey, No. 09-
16
15548 (9th Cir. July 6, 2012). If plaintiff requires an extension of time to prepare his opposition
17
to defendants’ motion to dismiss, he may so request.
18
IT IS SO ORDERED.
