Defendants
On April 30, 2018, the court received a letter from plaintiff Kurt Stoner advising that he

10 is having poor luck finding a new attorney since his last one withdrew, and stating that he
11 “would like to continue trying to find counsel to represent” him. ECF No. 30. The court hereby
12 cautions Mr. Stoner that the court does not act in response to letters. A party who wants the
13 court to take (or delay) action must file a written motion supported by a memorandum of points
14 and authorities and serve it on all other parties who have appeared. See Local Rule 7-2. The
15 court notes that the defendant in this case has filed a motion to dismiss. See ECF No. 25.
16 Stoner’s opposition to that motion, if any, was due on April 26, 2018. Stoner is cautioned that
17 his letter will not be construed as an opposition to that motion, and the court may construe
18 Stoner’s failure to timely oppose that motion as his consent to granting the motion to dismiss.
19 See Local Rule 7-2(d).
