Order Setting January 10, 2020 Deadline to Oppose Motion to Dismiss

Pro se Petitioner John Turner, a former Nevada prisoner, initiated this habeas corpus proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to set aside his 2016 conviction for child abuse and neglect or endangerment. Petitioner has filed a new Notice of Change of Address.1

Respondents filed a Motion to Dismiss2 the Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus3 on November 4, 2019. Under the Local Rules of Practice, Petitioner was required to file a response to the motion by November 18, 2019. He did not do so. The Local Rules further provide that failure to file points and authorities in opposition to a motion constitutes a consent that the motion be granted.4 Although no response before the deadline expired, I will give Petitioner one final opportunity to file a response to ensure a complete record.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to MAIL Petitioner one copy of Respondents' Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 29).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner has until January 10, 2020 to file a response to Respondents' motion to dismiss. If Petitioner timely opposes the motion, Respondents may file a reply within the time allotted under Local Rule LR 7-2(b). If Petitioner fails to respond to Respondents' motion by January 10, 2020, the court will deem his silence as consent to grant the motion.
