KRZYSZTOF F. WOLINSKI,

Plaintiff,

No. CIV S-11-1932-GEB-CMK-P

vs.

ORDER

MIKE D. McDONALD, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16

/

17

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

18

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time

19

(Doc. 53) to file a response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Good cause appearing therefor,

20

the request is granted. Plaintiff may file a response within 30 days of the date of this order.

21

In addition, it has come to the court’s attention that defendants’ motion does not

22

include the contemporaneous notice to plaintiff advising him as to his obligations in opposing

23

such a motion, as the Ninth Circuit has required. See Woods v. Carey, __ F.3d __, 2012 WL

24

2626912 (9th Cir. 2012). The court therefore provides this notice herein, as well as allowing

25

time for plaintiff to oppose the motion.

1

Pursuant to Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 n.14 (9th Cir. 2003), plaintiff

2

is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust

3

administrative remedies made by defendants pursuant to non-enumerated Rule 12(b) of the

4

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: Such a motion is a request for dismissal of unexhausted

5

claims without prejudice. The defendant may submit affidavits or declarations under penalty of

6

perjury and admissible documentation to support the motion to dismiss. To oppose the motion,

7

plaintiff may likewise file declarations under penalty of perjury and admissible documentation.

8

Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the penalty of perjury in the complaint if the

9

complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and plaintiff calls to

10

the court’s attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff relies. Plaintiff may serve

11

and file one or more affidavits or declarations by other persons who have personal knowledge of

12

relevant matters. Plaintiff may also rely upon written records, but plaintiff must prove that the

13

records are what plaintiff claims they are. If plaintiff fails to contradict defendant’s evidence

14

with admissible evidence, the court may rely on the defendant’s evidence. In the event both sides

15

submit matters outside the pleadings, the court may look beyond the pleadings and decide

16

disputed issues of fact. If plaintiff does not serve and file a written opposition to the motion, the

17

court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to the defendant’s motion. If the

18

defendant’s motion to dismiss, whether opposed or unopposed, is granted, plaintiff’s

19

unexhausted claims will be dismissed without prejudice.

within 30 days of the date of this order.
