MEMORANDUM OPINION
On September 27, 2017, the defendants in this matter filed a motion to dismiss
plaintiff’s amended complaint. (See Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 19.) The Local Civil
Rules of this Court provide that “[w]ithin 14 days of the date of service or at such other
time as the court may direct, an opposing party shall serve and file a memorandum of
points and authorities in opposition to the motion [or] the Court may treat the motion as
conceded.” LCvR 7(b). To date, plaintiff’s counsel has neither filed an opposition to
the motion nor requested more time to do so. Therefore, the Court will GRANT the
defendants’ motion as conceded and will DISMISS this action without prejudice.
A separate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.

DATE: May 9, 2018
