ORDER
Citing a newly discovered videotape of her son’s suicide while in
defendants’ custody, plaintiff Maria Arenas seeks leave to file a Second
Amended Complaint in this prisoner civil rights action.

Doc. 49.

Defendants have not responded, so the motion is unopposed by operation
of Local Rule 7.5.

S.D. Ga. L. R. 7.5 (“Failure to respond within the

applicable time period shall indicate that there is no opposition to a
motion.”); see also doc. 49 (docket entry reflecting June 8, 2017 deadline
for any response or opposition). Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to file a
Second Amended Complaint is GRANTED (doc. 49).

And since this

obviates the motion to dismiss the first amended complaint, that motion is
deemed MOOT (doc. 36).

SO ORDERED, this 12th

day of June, 2017.
