ORDER

KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

On June 12, 2013, defendant Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for and on behalf of Amtrust Bank ("FDIC") filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c) on the grounds that plaintiff's complaint fails to state any claim for relief as a matter of law.1 (ECF No. 5.) FDIC noticed its motion for a hearing to take place before the undersigned on July 18, 2013. (ECF No. 7.) Pursuant to this court's Local Rules, plaintiff was obligated to file and serve a written opposition or statement of non-opposition to the pending motion at least fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing date, or July 4, 2013. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(c).2 The court's docket reveals that plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel, failed to file a written opposition or statement of non-opposition with respect to the motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Eastern District Local Rule 110 provides that "[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court." Moreover, Eastern District Local Rule 183(a) provides, in part:

See also King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987) ("Pro se litigants must follow the same rules of procedure that govern other litigants") (overruled on other grounds). Case law is in accord that a district court may impose sanctions, including involuntary dismissal of a plaintiff's case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), where that plaintiff fails to prosecute his or her case or fails to comply with the court's orders, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the court's local rules.3 See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44 (1991) (recognizing that a court "may act sua sponte to dismiss a suit for failure to prosecute"); Hells Canyon Preservation Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 689 (9th Cir. 2005) (stating that courts may dismiss an action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) sua sponte for a plaintiff's failure to prosecute or comply with the rules of civil procedure or the court's orders); Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995) (per curiam) ("Failure to follow a district court's local rules is a proper ground for dismissal"); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992) ("Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), the district court may dismiss an action for failure to comply with any order of the court"); Thompson v. Housing Auth. of City of L.A., 782 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir. 1986) (per curiam) (stating that district courts have inherent power to control their dockets and may impose sanctions including dismissal or default).

In light of the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The hearing on FDIC's motion for judgment on the pleadings (ECF No. 5), which is presently set for July 18, 2013, is CONTINUED until September 5, 2013, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom No. 25 before the undersigned.

2. Plaintiff shall file a written opposition to the motion for judgment on the pleadings, or a statement of non-opposition thereto, on or before August 22, 2013. Plaintiff's failure to file a written opposition will be deemed a statement of non-opposition to the pending motion and consent to the granting of the motion, and shall constitute an additional ground for the imposition of appropriate sanctions, including a recommendation that plaintiff's entire case be involuntarily dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

3. FDIC may file a written reply to plaintiff's opposition, if any, on or before August 29, 2013.

4. The September 5, 2013 status conference in this matter is CONTINUED until November 7, 2013, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom No. 25 before the undersigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
