Michael Lenoir Smith, Plaintiff, v. Arnold Schwarzeneggar, et al. Defendants.
ORDER
On October 17, 2012, Defendants Yates, Hedgpeth and Allison (Defendants) filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint; Defendants' Request That the Court Screen Plaintiff's Fourth Amended Complaint. Because the Plaintiff is acting pro se in this matter, the Court advises the Plaintiff of the following: I. RULE 7.2(i) CAUTIONARY NOTICE
LRCiv 7.2(i) states in relevant part: "[I]f the opposing party does not serve and file the required answering memoranda . . . such non-compliance may be deemed a consent to the denial or granting of the motion and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily." See D.Ariz. R. 1.10(i); see also Brydges v. Lewis, 18 F.3d 651, 652 (9th Cir. 1994). Plaintiff should take notice that failure to respond to the Defendants' Motion by the deadline set forth in this Order will result in the Court deeming the Defendants' Motion as being unopposed and consented to by the Plaintiff. See Brydges, 18 F.3d at 652 (affirming the district court's summary granting of a motion for summary judgment under Local Rule 7.2(i) when non-moving party was given express warning of consequences of failing to respond).
It is the Plaintiff's obligation to timely respond to all motions. The Defendants' Motion will be summarily granted if Plaintiff fails to respond in accordance with the provisions of this Order. II. RULE 41 CAUTIONARY NOTICE
The Plaintiff should also take notice that if he fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, or any other order of the Court entered in this matter, his Complaint and this action may also be dismissed pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992) (holding that the district court may dismiss an action for failure to comply with any order of the court), cert denied, 506 U.S. 915 (1992). Therefore, the Plaintiff is warned that failure to strictly adhere to the provisions of this or any other Court Order will result in dismissal of the Plaintiff's Complaint pursuant to Rule 41.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff shall file with the Clerk of the Court and serve on opposing counsel a responsive memorandum to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint no later than November 5, 2012.
