Because plaintiff is incarcerated, the matter will be submitted on the papers. Service of process has not yet been completed on defendant S. Iwanick. On September 17, 2009, the Marshal filed a process receipt and return indicating that defendant Iwanick could not be located. Defendant Author Pagsolingan previously filed a status report in which he indicated he had no information regarding an address at which defendant Iwanick could be served. Because the complaint alleges that defendants, although from different police departments, acted in concert to inflict bodily injury on plaintiff, defendant Aries Pagsolingan will be directed to provide any information available to that defendant regarding the location at which defendant Iwanick can be served. ///// 1 ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA ROBERT DEARMON, Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-2834 MCE KJM PS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 bankruptcy; On December 21, 2009, defendant Aries Pagsolingan filed an answer. On December 31, 2009 and March 4, 2010, plaintiff filed replies to the answer. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not provide for the filing of a reply to an answer.

Future proceedings, including setting appropriate cutoff dates for discovery and law and motion and the scheduling of a pretrial conference and trial; i. Modification of standard pretrial procedures specified by the rules due to the relative simplicity or complexity of the action or proceedings; j.

In addition, the parties are cautioned that pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(c), opposition to the granting of a motion must be filed fourteen days preceding the noticed hearing date. The Rule further provides that "[n]o party will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral arguments if written opposition to the motion has not been timely filed by that party." Moreover, Local Rule 78-230(j) provides that failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of opposition to the motion or may result in sanctions. Finally, Local Rule 11-110 provides that failure to comply with the Local Rules "may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court." 5. Plaintiff's replies to the answer (docket nos. 40 and 43) are stricken. Defendants' ex parte application for extension of time (docket no. 47) is denied as moot. DATED: March 30, 2010. 3
