ORDER
On December 26, 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion.
18
Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written
19
opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to
20
the granting of the motion . . . .” On July 20, 2011, and December 26, 2012, plaintiff was
21
advised of the requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a
22
motion may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d
23
952, 957 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409, 411-12 (9th Cir.
24
1988).
25
26
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be
grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the
1
1
inherent power of the Court.” In the order filed July 20, 2011, plaintiff was also advised that
2
failure to comply with the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be
3
dismissed.
4
Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
5
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.

10
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the
11
date of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion for summary judgment.
12
Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) pending motion granted;
13
(b) action dismissed for lack of prosecution; and (c) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure
14
to comply with these rules and a court order. Such failure shall result in a recommendation that
15
this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
