Doc. # 86. In the July 22 order the court 22 granted Defendants leave to file a second motion for summary judgment. Defendants’ 23 second motion for summary judgment was filed on September 13, 2010. Defendants’ second 24 motion for summary judgment was served on Plaintiff on November 3, 2010. On December 25 17, 2010, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for extension of time to file an opposition to 26 the second motion for summary judgment. On December 23, 2010, the court issued an order 27 was filed extending time to file an opposition through and including February 1, 2010. A 28 second motion to extend time, which was filed on December 27, 2010, was denied as being 1 duplicative of the first motion to extend time. No opposition to Defendants’ second motion 2 for summary judgment has been received as of this date. 3 Due to the press of business, the court put aside Defendants’ motion without noting 4 Plaintiff’s failure to timely file an opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 5 The court cannot delay longer on deciding Defendants’ motion. However, recognizing the 6 difficulty in filing and receiving documents that are occasioned by Plaintiff’s status as an 7 inmate, the court will provide a final opportunity for Plaintiff to either file an opposition or 8 show cause why the court should not proceed to decide Defendants’ motion in the absence of 9 any opposition by Plaintiff. 10 11 THEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff shall either: 12 1. File and serve an opposition to Defendants’ second motion for summary judgment; or 13 2. File and serve a brief showing cause why the court should not proceed with 14 determination of Defendants second motion for summary judgment. 15 16 Either response shall be filed and served not later than fourteen (14) days from the 17 date of service of this order. The failure of Plaintiff to file either of the above documents 18 shall be taken by the court to signify non-opposition to the court proceeding with the 19 determination of Defendants’ second motion for summary judgment without further pleading 20 by Plaintiff. 21 IT IS SO ORDERED. 22 23 Dated: ciem0h November 2, 2011 CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 24 25 26 27 28 2
