Plaintiff,
No. 2:10-cv-2174 KJM KJN P
vs.
C. CANNEDY, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER
/
16
On November 21, 2011, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended
17
complaint, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Plaintiff has not opposed the
18
motion.
19
Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written
20
opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to
21
the granting of the motion . . . .” On September 29, 2010, plaintiff was advised of the
22
requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may be
23
deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion.
24
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be
25
grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the
26
inherent power of the Court.” In the order filed September 29, 2010, plaintiff was also advised
1
1
that failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be
2
dismissed.
3
Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
4
Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute
or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may
move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the
dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision
(b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of
jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule
19--operates as an adjudication on the merits.

Id.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the
10
date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion to dismiss. Failure to file
11
an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) pending motion granted; (b) action
12
dismissed for lack of prosecution; and (c) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply
13
with these rules and a court order. Said failure shall result in a recommendation that this action
14
be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
