Plaintiff,

ORDER

LISA M. MOORE,
Defendant.

17

This action was referred to the undersigned by Local Rule 302(c)(21). On July 20, 2015,

18

defendant filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). ECF

19

No. 17. Apparently in response, plaintiff has filed a letter with the subject line “Prison reform

20

after parole has ended / Human Rights Violations.” ECF No. 18. However, plaintiff has filed no

21

opposition, nor statement of non-opposition, to the motion to dismiss.

22

Local Rule 230(c) provides that opposition to the granting of a motion must be filed

23

fourteen days preceding the noticed hearing date. The Rule further provides that “[n]o party will

24

be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments if written opposition to the

25

motion has not been timely filed by that party.” In addition, Local Rule 230(j) provides that

26

failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of opposition to the motion or may result in

27

sanctions. Finally, Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be

28

grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the
1

1

inherent power of the Court.”

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

3

1. The hearing date of October 14, 2015 is VACATED. The hearing on defendant’s

4
5

motion to dismiss is continued to October 28, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom No. 26.
2. Plaintiff shall file an opposition, or a statement of non-opposition, to the motion to

6

dismiss, no later than October 21, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. Failure to file opposition and appear at the

7

hearing will be deemed as a statement of non-opposition and shall result in a recommendation

8

that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
