/

16

On September 28, 2012, defendant filed a motion to dismiss, pursuant to Federal

17

Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). (Dkt. No. 12.) Plaintiff’s opposition or statement of

18

opposition was due within twenty-one (21) days. See Local Rule 230(l). Although this period

19

has expired, plaintiff has not opposed the motion or otherwise communicated with the court.

20

On July 20, 2012, plaintiff was advised of the requirements and deadline for filing

21

an opposition to a motion to dismiss, and informed that failure to oppose such motion may be

22

deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. (Dkt. No. 9.) As provided by Local Rule 230(l),

23

“Failure of the responding party to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition

24

may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion . . . .” Local Rule 230

25

(l).

In addition, Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules

2

or an order of this court “may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by

3

statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.” Finally, Rule 41(b), Federal Rules of

4

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.
