Petitioner,

J. PRICE,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Respondent.
15
16
Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with an application for writ of habeas
17
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 12, 2016, respondent filed a motion to
18
dismiss. Petitioner has not filed an opposition to the motion. Local Rule 230(l) provides in part:
19
“Failure of the responding party to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition
20
may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion . . . .” Id.
21
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner show cause, within
22
thirty days, why his failure to oppose respondent’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 13) should not be
23
deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion, and he shall file an opposition.
24
Petitioner is cautioned that failure to respond to the instant order, and to file an opposition to the
25
pending motion to dismiss, will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
