On September 29, 2014, Defendant County of Alameda filed a motion to dismiss this
lawsuit. (Dkt. No. 8.) The hearing on the motion was originally scheduled for November 4, 2014,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

at 2:00 p.m.

12

Under this Court’s Civil Local Rule 7-3(a), plaintiffs were required to file either a brief

13

opposing the motion to dismiss their lawsuit, or a notice that they do not oppose dismissal.

14

Plaintiffs’ papers were due on October 16, 2014. Civ. L.R. 7-3(a). As of the date of this Order,

15

plaintiffs have filed neither an opposition brief nor a notice of non-opposition. As a result, the

16

Court is considering dismissing plaintiffs’ lawsuit for failure to prosecute.

17

The Court hereby extends plaintiffs’ time to file their papers. Plaintiffs shall file an

18

opposition to the Motion to Dismiss (or a statement of non-opposition) by no later than

19

October 28, 2014. Failure to file an opposition by that date will result in dismissal of this

20

lawsuit for failure to prosecute. Any reply to an opposition must be served and filed not more

21

than 7 days after the opposition is served and filed (or 10 days in the event that the opposition is

22

not filed and served through the ECF system). Civ. L.R. 7-3(c).
