Plaintiff, who proceeds without counsel, initiated this action with a complaint filed on July
19
20, 2017. (See ECF No. 1.) This matter is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
20

On April 19, 2024, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 76.)
Plaintiff did not file a timely opposition to the motion for summary judgment.
The court will provide plaintiff a further opportunity to respond to the pending motion for
24
summary judgment within 14 days after service of this order. Plaintiff is cautioned that any
25
further failure to respond will be construed as plaintiff’s non-opposition to the motion which
26
would constitute grounds for dismissal under Rule 41(b).
27
28
Local Rule 230(c) states “[n]o party will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion
at oral arguments if opposition to the motion has not been timely filed by that party....”

Accordingly, the hearing set for May 29, 2024, is vacated. After the conclusion of briefing, the
2
motion will be submitted for decision on the record and written briefing pursuant to Local Rule
3
230(g). If the court subsequently determines that supplemental briefing or oral argument is
4
necessary, the parties will be notified accordingly.

For the reasons set forth above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

7
2.
Plaintiff shall file a written opposition (or a statement of non-opposition) to the
8
motion for summary judgment within 14 days after service of this order. Failure to
9
do so will be deemed a statement of non-opposition and consent to the granting of
10
the motion and may constitute an additional ground for the imposition of
11
appropriate sanctions, including a recommendation that plaintiff’s case be
12
involuntarily dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
13
41(b).
14
3.
Defendant may file a written reply to any opposition filed by plaintiff within 10
