Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

14

WAL MART STORES, INC.,

15

Defendant.

16
17

Plaintiff is proceeding with this civil rights complaint pro se and in forma pauperis. On

18

March 28, 2017 defendant filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings which was set for

19

hearing before the undersigned on June 15, 2017. ECF No. 38. Under Eastern District of

20

California Local Rule 230(c) plaintiff, as responding party, was required to file either an

21

Opposition Memorandum, or a Statement of Non-Opposition, to the Motion on or before June 1,

22

2017; plaintiff has filed neither.

23

Plaintiff shall, within fourteen (14) days of the filing of this order, show cause why his

24

action should not be dismissed on the ground that defendant’s Motion was unopposed in violation

25

of court rules and file an Opposition simultaneously. Failure to respond timely appropriately to

26

this Order to Show Cause shall produce the same result -- a recommendation that plaintiff’s

27

complaint be dismissed.

28

This action makes it is necessary to vacate the court’s calendar of June 15, 2017 to allow
1

1

plaintiff sufficient time to respond. The court will reschedule the hearing if appropriate upon

2

receipt of plaintiff’s pleading, if any.

3

In light of the foregoing, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:

4

1.

Plaintiff shall show cause within fourteen (14) days of the filing of this order;

5

2.

Plaintiff shall simultaneously file an Opposition to defendant’s pending Motion for

6

Judgment on the Pleadings;

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
