MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss or for Summary
Judgment [Dkt. # 17] with regard to Mr. Lazaridis’s Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
§ 552, claim. See Mem. Op. and Order [Dkt. ## 14, 15] (dismissing all other claims). On
October 17, 2012, the Court directed Mr. Lazaridis to respond to the instant motion by
November 26, 2012, and advised him that his failure to respond might result in summary
dismissal of the case on what would be treated as a conceded motion. Order [Dkt. # 18]. Mr.
Lazaridis has litigated four cases before the undersigned judge and has received the foregoing
advisements multiple times, twice in this case alone. See Orders [Dkt. ## 10, 18]. As to the
pending dispositive motion, Mr. Lazaridis has neither filed a response nor sought additional time
to respond. Hence, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(b), the Court will treat Defendants’ motion to
dismiss as conceded and will now dismiss the case. See Slovinec v. Am. Univ., 520 F. Supp. 2d
107, 111 (D.D.C. 2007) (discussing enforcement of the local rule) (citations omitted). A
memorializing Order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
Date: January 4, 2013
