v.
ORDER
RICK HILL, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
On October 16, 2014, defendants Rick Hill and N. Fransham filed a motion to dismiss
17
18
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12. Plaintiff did not file an opposition to the 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 July 18, 2014, plaintiff was advised of the requirements for
22
filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may be deemed a waiver
23
of opposition to the motion.
24
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for
25
imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of
26
the Court.” In the order filed July 18, 2014, plaintiff was also advised that failure to comply with
27
the Local Rules may result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed.

Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
2
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.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days from the date
8
of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion to dismiss. Failure to file an
9
opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) action dismissed for lack of prosecution;
10
and (b) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with these rules and a court order.
11
Such failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal
12
Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
