On September 6, 2011, defendant Miranda filed a motion to dismiss on the 18 ground that the amended complaint fails to state a claim upon which injunctive relief can be 19 granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Plaintiff failed to file an opposition or a statement of no 20 opposition to the motion to dismiss. 21 Accordingly, on November 28, 2011, the court gave plaintiff twenty-one days to file an 22 opposition or statement of non-opposition and warned him that failure to do so could result in a 23 recommendation that this action be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The time for acting 24 has passed and plaintiff has not filed an opposition, a statement of no opposition or otherwise 25 responded to the court’s order. 26 //// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Plaintiff has been warned that he must file a response to defendants’ motion.
