ORDER Noting Need for Response to Motion to Dismiss. Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

WILLIAM E. POWELL,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 14-13589

FIRST ALLIED SECURITIES, INC.,
Defendant.
______________________________________/

ORDER NOTING NEED FOR RESPONSE TO MOTION TO DISMISS

This matter is before the court, on its own motion, relative to a Motion to Dismiss filed
by the Defendant on or about March 3, 2015. The motion was followed soon thereafter by an
“objection” filed by Plaintiff, proceeding pro se.
The court observes, first, that an “objection” is not a response to a motion. Second, that
the Local Rules provide for a period of twenty-one days to respond to a dispositive motion such
as a motion to dismiss. E. D. Mich. LR 7.1e (1)(A), (B). And finally, that a colorable motion
that stands with no opposition is very likely to be granted.
