file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the pending motion; and directed plaintiff to file an opposition to the motion, or a statement of non-opposition thereto, no later than September 8, 2010. Dckt. No. 11. The court further stated that "[f]ailure of plaintiff to file an opposition will be deemed a statement of non-opposition to the pending motion, and may result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed for lack of prosecution. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b)." Id. Although the deadlines have now passed, the court docket reflects that plaintiff has not filed a response to the order to show cause, an opposition to defendants' motion, or a statement of non-opposition to the motion. In light of plaintiff's failures, the undersigned recommends that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute and that defendants' motion to dismiss be denied as moot. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); L.R. 110. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The hearing date of September 22, 2010 on defendants' motion to dismiss, Dckt. No. 9, is vacated; and 2. The status (pretrial scheduling) conference currently set for hearing on October 20, 2010, is vacated.1 IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that: 1. This action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), based on plaintiff's failure to prosecute the action; 2. Defendants' motion to dismiss, Dckt. No. 9, be denied as moot; and 3. The Clerk be directed to close this case. 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 As a result, the parties are not required to submit status reports as provided in the June 11, 2010 order. See Dckt. No. 4 at 2. However, if the recommendation of dismissal herein is not adopted by the district judge, the undersigned will reschedule the status conference and require the parties to submit status reports. 2
