Respondent.

Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with an application for writ of habeas

18

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent consented to proceed before the undersigned

19

for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On March 7, 2017, respondent filed a motion to

20

dismiss this action on the grounds that it was filed beyond the one-year statute of limitations.

Petitioner has not filed an opposition to the motion. Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure

22

of the responding party to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be

23

deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion . . . .” Good cause appearing, IT

24

IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner show cause, within twenty-one days, why respondent’s

25

motion to dismiss should not be granted.
