vs.
M. MARTEL, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
/
On December 10, 2012, counsel for defendants Martinez and Todd filed a motion
17
to dismiss this action, pursuant to unenumerated Rule 12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil
18
Procedure, arguing that plaintiff had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing
19
suit as required. On January 23, 2012, the court granted plaintiff a sixty-day extension of time to
20
file an opposition to the motion. That time has expired, and plaintiff has not filed any opposition
21
to the pending motion to dismiss.
22
Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written
23
opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to
24
the granting of the motion . . . .” On September 13, 2012, plaintiff was advised by the court of
25
the requirements for filing an opposition to the motion and that failure to oppose such a motion
26
may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion.

1
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be
2
grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the
3
inherent power of the Court.” In the court’s order filed September 13, 2012, plaintiff was
4
advised that failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the
5
action be dismissed.
6
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within fourteen days of
7
the date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to defendants’ motion to dismiss.
8
Failure to file an opposition may be deemed as a statement of non-opposition and may result in a
9
recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
10
Alternatively, if plaintiff no longer wishes to proceed with this action, he may file a motion to
11
voluntarily dismiss this case.
