GRAHAM v. MEDSTAR WASHINGTON HOSPITAL CENTER et al

Filing 11

MEMORANDUM in support of 10 Order granting Defendant's 7 Motion to Dismiss. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 9/26/2024. (lctjk2)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
BETTY GRAHAM,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action No. 24-1308 (TJK)

MEDSTAR WASHINGTON HOSPITAL
CENTER
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM
On May 31, 2024, Defendant moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a
claim upon which relief can be granted or, alternatively, for summary judgment. The parties jointly
moved for an extension of time to respond to the motion, which the Court granted. Plaintiff was
then ordered to respond to Defendant’s Motion by July 5, 2024. Plaintiff did not respond or request
an additional extension of time to do so in the time provided by Local Rule 7(b). For that reason,
on July 23, 2024, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause by August 16, 2024, why it should not
treat Defendant’s motion as conceded. Again, Plaintiff has not responded, so the Court will treat
Defendant’s motion to dismiss as conceded. See LCvR 7(b) (if a memorandum in opposition is
not filed within the time directed by the Court, “the Court may treat the motion as conceded”). For
all the above reasons, the Court will grant Defendant’s motion to dismiss the case. A separate
order will issue.
