(AIR), and DOES 1­50, inclusive, Defendants. / ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND VACATING HEARING No. C 07-02396 WHA IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA United States District Court 11 For the Northern District of California 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Defendants moved for summary judgment against plaintiff Teresa Padilla, who alleged the following claims against UPS: (i) discrimination based on physical disability, (ii) retaliation; and (iii) failure to prevent discrimination. She also claimed punitive damages. Although Ms. Padilla filed this lawsuit in state court in 2006 (and it was removed to federal court in 2007), she has repeatedly missed deadlines and failed to prosecute her case. A previous order dated August 25, 2008 noted that Ms. Padilla did not file a timely opposition to defendants' motion for summary judgment, in accordance with the civil local rules. The order then gave Ms. Padilla an extra week to file an opposition, stating that, "[i]f plaintiff does not file a timely opposition, the motion will be deemed unopposed" (Dkt. No. 58). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 No opposition has been forthcoming. Accordingly, defendants' motion for summary judgment is deemed unopposed by Ms. Padilla. The motion is GRANTED. Because oral argument is unnecessary, the hearing set for September 18, 2008, is VACATED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 2, 2008.
