ORDER DIRECTING
RESPONSE BY PLAINTIFF TO
DEFENDANTS’ SECOND
MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT
18
19
In this action under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), the court previously
20
issued an order on July 22, 2010 (the “July 22 Order”) granting in part and denying in part
21
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 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.
