DEFENDANT
ORDER

On September 22, 2011, the defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff
did not respond. On October 13, 2011, the Court entered an Order directing the plaintiff to respond
on or before October 20, 2011, and giving notice that if no response was filed by that date the Court
would assume that the motion for summary judgment was uncontested. No response has been filed.
Therefore, the Court will view the motion for summary judgment as uncontested. It appears that the
defendant has established a prima facie case of entitlement to summary judgment pursuant to
Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the absence of any response, the motion for
summary judgment is GRANTED. Document #43.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of October, 2011.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
