No. 2:14-cv-2580 TLN KJN P

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

JEFFERY McCUMBER, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. On May 29, 2018, plaintiff filed

18

an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss. However, plaintiff did not sign his opposition.

19

In addition, plaintiff’s opposition appears to end mid-sentence at the bottom of his page 13.

20

Parties proceeding without counsel are required to sign all pleadings, motions, and other

21

papers submitted to the court for filing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Thus, the court is unable to

22

consider plaintiff’s opposition unless he signs it.

23

Plaintiff is granted an opportunity to re-file his complete opposition, including a signature

24

page bearing his signature. Plaintiff is cautioned that this is not an opportunity for him to file a

25

new or amended opposition, but rather to provide the remainder of his opposition initially

26

submitted to prison officials for mailing on May 23, 2018. Further, plaintiff is warned that failure

27

to submit a signed opposition could result in the dismissal of this action based on plaintiff’s

28

failure to comply with this court’s order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

3
4

opposition, without the banner across the top (ECF No. 60); and
2. Within twenty-one days, plaintiff shall re-file a signed and complete opposition to

5

defendants’ motion to dismiss.
