Defendant.

Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss on June 30, 2017. Currently, the motion is set for a
court hearing on August 10, 2017. Plaintiff Cynthia Shavers is pursuing this action without legal

12

representation. According to the local court rules, Plaintiff should have filed any brief in

13

opposition to Defendant’s motion by July 14, 2017. See Civ. L.R. 7-3(a). The court has received

14

no such opposition.

15

The court ORDERS Plaintiff to respond by August 3, 2017 and explain her failure to

16

respond to the motion. In addition, Plaintiff must simultaneously (1) submit her opposition to the

17

court or (2) file a statement of non-opposition to the motion. This order to show cause does not

18

indicate that the court will necessarily accept Plaintiff’s late submission. If Plaintiff does not

19

respond by August 3, 2017, Defendant’s motion may be granted or the case may be dismissed for

20

failure to prosecute.

The August 10, 2017 hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss is VACATED. The court

IT IS SO ORDERED.
