ORDER 14 MARTIN KUERSTEN, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 On April 25, 2024, defendant Kuersten filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule 17 18 of Civil Procedure 12. 1 (ECF No. 64.) Plaintiff did not oppose the motion. Local Rule 230(l) provides in part: “Failure of the responding party to file written 19 20 opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to 21 the granting of the motion . . . .” Id. In defendant’s motion, plaintiff was reminded that his 22 failure to oppose the motion could result in a recommendation that the motion be granted. (ECF 23 No. 64 at 2.) 24 Local Rule 110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for 25 imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of 26 the Court.” Id. 27 28 1 Defendants CDCR and Director of Medical Services were dismissed without prejudice at plaintiff’s election. (ECF Nos. 53, 54.) 1 1 Finally, Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides: 2 Involuntary Dismissal; Effect. If the plaintiff fails to prosecute or to comply with these rules or a court order, a defendant may move to dismiss the action or any claim against it. Unless the dismissal order states otherwise, a dismissal under this subdivision (b) and any dismissal not under this rule--except one for lack of jurisdiction, improper venue, or failure to join a party under Rule 19--operates as an adjudication on the merits. 3 4 5 6 Id. 7 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days from the date 8 of this order, plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion to dismiss. Failure to file an 9 opposition will be deemed as consent to have the: (a) action dismissed for lack of prosecution; 10 and (b) action dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with these rules and a court order. 11 Said failure shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal 12 Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 13 14 Dated: June 5, 2024 15 16 17 18 /1/john0828.nop.csk 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
