NO. 5:11-CV-96 (MTT)

Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. §1983
Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge

ORDER
Before the Court is a Motion to Dismiss filed by Defendant Sheneca King. Doc. 12. Since
Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the Court deems it appropriate and necessary to advise him of his
obligation to respond and of the consequences which he may suffer if he fails to file a proper
response.
Plaintiff is advised:
1.

that a Motion to Dismiss has been filed by Defendant King;

2.

that he has the right to oppose the granting of that motion; and,

3.

if he fails to oppose the motion, his claims against Defendant King may be DISMISSED.
The Plaintiff is further advised that, under the procedures and policies of this court, motions

to dismiss are normally decided on briefs. That is, the Court considers the pleadings and briefs filed
by the parties in deciding whether dismissal is appropriate under the law. Failure of the Plaintiff to
respond, in writing, to Defendant King’s Motion to Dismiss may result in the granting of the motion,
without a hearing or any further proceedings.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff is ORDERED AND DIRECTED to file a response to Defendant
King’s Motion to Dismiss ON OR BEFORE JUNE 13, 2011. Thereafter, the Court will consider
the motion and any opposition to the same filed by the Plaintiff. If no response is submitted by
Plaintiff, the Court will consider said motion to be uncontested.
SO ORDERED, this 23rd day of May, 2011.
