MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before the Court is Defendant Charles Samuels Jr.’s Motion to Dismiss
or, in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment [Dkt. 14]. On October 1, 2015, the Court directed
Mr. Reid to respond to the instant motion by November 30, 2015, and advised that his failure to
respond might result in summary dismissal of the case on what would be treated as a conceded
motion. Order [Dkt. 15]. On January 5, 2016, the Court granted Mr. Reid’s motion for
additional time to respond and directed him to file his response by January 29, 2016. Mr. Reid
has neither filed a response nor sought additional time to respond. Hence, pursuant to Local
Civil Rule 7(b), the Court will treat Mr. Samuels’ motion to dismiss as conceded and will
dismiss the case. See Slovinec v. Amer. Univ., 520 F. Supp. 2d 107, 111 (D.D.C. 2007)
(discussing enforcement of the local rule) (citations omitted). A memorializing Order will issue
separately.
