No. C 11-0442 JSW (PR)
ORDER PROVIDING
PLAINTIFF NOTICE AND
WARNING; SCHEDULING
SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Plaintiff, a California prisoner, filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C.

18

§ 1983. Defendants have filed a motion for summary judgment, which Plaintiff has not

19

opposed. Pursuant to Woods v. Carey, No. 09-15548, slip op. 7871, 7884-85 (9th Cir.

20

July 6, 2012), the following notices and warnings are provided to Plaintiff a second time.

21

Plaintiff must read the following “NOTICE -- WARNING (SUMMARY

22

JUDGMENT),” which is provided to him pursuant to Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952,

23

953-954 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409, 411-12 (9th

24

Cir. 1988). To the extent defendants argue that Plaintiff failed to exhaust his

25

administrative remedies as required by 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), plaintiff should also read

26

the “NOTICE -- WARNING (EXHAUSTION)” which is provided to him pursuant to

27

Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 n. 4 (9th Cir. 2003):

28

1
2

NOTICE -- WARNING (SUMMARY JUDGMENT)
If defendants move for summary judgment, they are seeking to have your case

3

dismissed. A motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil

4

Procedure will, if granted, end your case.

5

Rule 56 tells you what you must do in order to oppose a motion for summary

6

judgment. Generally, summary judgment must be granted when there is no genuine issue

7

of material fact--that is, if there is no real dispute about any fact that would affect the

8

result of your case, the party who asked for summary judgment is entitled to judgment as

9

a matter of law, which will end your case. When a party you are suing makes a motion

10

for summary judgment that is properly supported by declarations (or other sworn

11

testimony), you cannot simply rely on what your complaint says. Instead, you must set

12

out specific facts in declarations, depositions, answers to interrogatories, or authenticated

13

documents, as provided in Rule 56(e), that contradict the facts shown in the defendant's

14

declarations and documents and show that there is a genuine issue of material fact for

15

trial. If you do not submit your own evidence in opposition, summary judgment, if

16

appropriate, may be entered against you. If summary judgment is granted, your case will

17

be dismissed and there will be no trial.

18

NOTICE -- WARNING (EXHAUSTION)

19

If defendants file an unenumerated motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust, they

20

are seeking to have your case dismissed. If the motion is granted it will end your case.

21

You have the right to present any evidence you may have which tends to show

22

that you did exhaust your administrative remedies. Such evidence may be in the form of

23

declarations (statements signed under penalty of perjury) or authenticated documents,

24

that is, documents accompanied by a declaration showing where they came from and

25

why they are authentic, or other sworn papers, such as answers to interrogatories or

26

depositions.

27
28

If defendants file a motion to dismiss and it is granted, your case will be dismissed
and there will be no trial.

1

Plaintiff may file an opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on

2

or before August 1, 2012. Defendants shall file a reply brief within 7 days of the date

3

any opposition is filed. If Plaintiff does not file an opposition, Defendants’ motion will

4

be decided on the papers that have already been filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
