Ralls, et al., 14 15 / 16 On May 11, 2011, plaintiff was ordered to show cause why his claims against 17 defendant Ralls are not barred. (Dkt. No. 101.) On May 11, 2011, defendant Ralls filed a 18 motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. No. 102.) Twenty-one days have now passed, and plaintiff 19 has not filed a response to the order to show cause, or filed an opposition to defendant Ralls’ 20 motion. 21 However, on May 23, 2011, plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to file 22 objections to the May 4, 2011 findings and recommendations. Plaintiff stated he was not in 23 possession of his legal materials, as they were taken from him in anticipation of a prison transfer 24 that did not take place. Accordingly, plaintiff will be granted an extension of time in which to 25 respond to the order to show cause and to file an opposition to defendant Ralls’ motion. Plaintiff 26 is cautioned that failure to oppose defendant Ralls’ motion will be deemed as consent to have 1 1 the: (a) pending motion granted; (b) plaintiff’s claims against defendant Ralls dismissed for lack 2 of prosecution; and (c) plaintiff’s claims against defendant Ralls dismissed based on plaintiff’s 3 failure to comply with these rules and a court order.
