KEVAN ARYA, Plaintiff, v. CALPERS, Defendant.
ORDER
This action was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21). On January 10, 2013, defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. No opposition to the motion to dismiss has been filed.
Local Rule 230(c) provides that 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." In addition, Local Rule 230(I) provides that failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of opposition to the motion or may result in sanctions. Finally, Local Rule 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."
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The hearing date of February 27, 2013 is vacated. Hearing on defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings is continued to April 10, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom no. 26.
2. Plaintiff shall file opposition, if any, to the motion for judgment on the pleadings no later than March 27, 2013. Failure to file opposition and/or appear at the hearing will be deemed as a statement of non-opposition and shall result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
