Civil Action No. 14-0420 (ABJ)

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on Respondents’ Statement Why Writ of Mandamus
Should Not Be Granted and Motion to Dismiss the Petition [ECF Nos. 10-11]. On June 23,
2014, the Court issued an Order advising the petitioner of his obligations under the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure and the local rules of this Court to respond to the motion. Specifically, the
Court warned petitioner that, if he failed to file an opposition to the motion by July 18, 2014, the
motion would be treated as conceded. To date, petitioner has neither filed an opposition to the
motion nor requested an extension of time. Mail addressed to the address provided at the time of
the filing of the petition has been twice returned as undeliverable, and petitioner has not advised
the Court of any change of address. The Court, therefore, will grant respondents’ motion as
conceded and will dismiss this case. An Order is issued separately.
