CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
JOSEPHINE L. STATON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY OPPOSITION SHOULD NOT BE STRICKEN FOR LATE FILING (Doc. 31)
On July 22, 2022, Defendant filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, which is currently set for hearing on October 28, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. (Mot., Doc. 21.) Pursuant to Local Rule 7-9, any opposition was due twenty-one days before the hearing, which was October 7, 2022. (See also C.D. Cal. R. 56-2 (requiring a party opposing a summary judgment motion to concurrently file a separate document containing a Statement of Genuine Disputes).) Plaintiff did not file any opposition on October 7. On October 12, Defendant filed a Notice of Non-Opposition alerting the Court that Defendant's motion was unopposed. (Notice, Doc. 30.) The next day, nearly a week late, Plaintiff filed his opposition to Defendant's summary judgment motion. (Opp., Doc. 31; see also Statement of Genuine Disputes, Doc. 32, and Declarations, Docs. 33-35.)
Under Local Rule 7-12, “[t]he Court may decline to consider any memorandum or other document not filed within the deadline set by order or local rule.” Accordingly, no later than October 17, 2022, Plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause why the late filings should not be stricken.
The deadline for Defendant to file a Reply is STAYED until further notice from the Court.
