No. 2:17-cv-0381 DB P

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

KIMBERLY MOULE, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

18

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff, who is confined to a wheelchair, contends that while he was

19

incarcerated at the San Joaquin County Jail, defendants discriminated against him based on his

20

disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On October 18, 2017, defendants

21

filed a motion to dismiss this case based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust his administrative

22

remedies. (ECF No. 14.)

23

In an order filed August 17, 2017, plaintiff was advised that motions to dismiss shall be

24

briefed pursuant to Local Rule 230(l). (ECF No. 12 at 2-3.) Local Rule 230(l) requires that

25

oppositions to motions be filed “not more than twenty-one (21) days after the date of service of

26

the motion.” More than twenty-one days have passed and plaintiff has not filed an opposition to

27

the motion to dismiss. The August 17 order also warned plaintiff that the failure to timely oppose

28

a motion to dismiss may be deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. (Id. at 3.)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

2

1. Within thirty days of the date of this order, plaintiff shall file any opposition to the

3
4

motion to dismiss.
2. If plaintiff fails to file a timely opposition to the motion to dismiss, this court may

5

recommend this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute. See E.D. Cal. R. 110; Fed.
