Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with an application for

17

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On November 30, 2012, respondents filed a

18

motion to dismiss this action as barred by the statute of limitations. Petitioner has not filed an

19

opposition to the motion. Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to

20

file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any

21

opposition to the granting of the motion . . . .”

22

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner show cause,

23

within thirty days, why his failure to oppose respondents’ November 30, 2012 motion to dismiss

24

should not be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion, and he shall file

25

an opposition. Petitioner is cautioned that failure to respond to the instant order, or to file an

26

////
1

1

opposition to the pending motion to dismiss, will result in a recommendation that this action be

2

dismissed.
