ORDER
Defendants herein have filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. Doc. 12. Since Plaintiff is

respond to said motion and of the consequences which he may suffer if he fails to file a proper
response.
Plaintiff is advised:
1.

2.
that he has an right to oppose this motion; and,
3.
that if he fails to oppose the motion, it may be GRANTED.
Plaintiff is further advised that, under the procedures and policies of this court, motions for
summary judgment are normally decided on briefs. That is, in accordance with the provisions of
Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court will examine the pleadings, discovery
and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits filed by the parties to determine whether there
are any genuine issues of material fact and, by extension, whether or not the movant is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law. In view of this procedure, Plaintiff is hereby notified that if he fails
or refuses to respond to and rebut the statements set forth in the Defendants’ affidavits or other
sworn pleadings, said statements may be accepted as the truth.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED AND DIRECTED to file a response to the
Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment WITHIN TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS of his
RECEIPT of this Order. Upon the filing of such response and any reply thereto, or after the passage
of fifty (50) days from the date of this Order, whichever comes first, the Court will proceed with its
consideration of the motion.
SO ORDERED, this 13th day of July, 2011.
