ORDER
_________
Petitioner has failed to file a response to Respondent’s motion to dismiss, and the
Court is reluctant to rule on the motion without first hearing from Petitioner. (Doc. no. 7.)
Under Loc. R. 7.5, failure to respond to a motion generally indicates that the motion is
unopposed; nevertheless, the Court recognizes that Petitioner is acting pro se in this litigation
and that Respondent’s motion is dispositive in nature. Therefore, the Court ORDERS
Petitioner to file a response to the motion to dismiss within fourteen days. Thereafter, the
Court will rule on the motion, and if Petitioner still fails to respond, the Court will deem the
motion unopposed. See Loc. R. 7.5. The Clerk is directed to notify the Court of the status of
this case at the expiration of the fourteen days.
SO ORDERED this 21st day of December, 2016, at Augusta, Georgia.
