On May 26, 2017, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 56. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion.
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 . . . .” Id. In an order filed December 3, 2015, plaintiff was advised of
22
the requirements for filing an opposition to a motion and that failure to oppose such a motion may
23
be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 957 (9th
24
Cir. 1998) (en banc), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409, 411-12 (9th Cir. 1988).
25
Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for
26
imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of
27
the Court.” Id. In the order filed December 3, 2015, plaintiff was also advised that failure to
28
comply with 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.

Id.
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 for summary judgment.
9
Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) action dismissed for lack
10
of prosecution; and (b) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with these rules
11
and a court order. Said failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed
12
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
