IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
JOHN PATRICK MOORE,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action 2:12-cv-609
Judge Marbley
Magistrate Judge King

vs.

BRENT CRUSE, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
On September 17, 2012, defendant Robinson has filed a motion to
dismiss.

Doc. No. 18.

Although the time for responding has passed,

plaintiff has nevertheless failed to respond to defendant Robinson’s
motion.
Plaintiff is advised that the local rules of this Court provide that
“[f]ailure to file a memorandum in opposition may be cause for the Court
to grant any Motion, other than one which would result directly in entry
of final judgment or an award of attorney fees.”

S.D. Ohio L.R.

7.2(a)(2).
Plaintiff is GRANTED twenty-eight (28) days from the date of
this Order to respond to the motion to dismiss.

Failure to do so will

be construed by the Court as an abandonment on the part of the plaintiff
of the action, and will result in the dismissal of the case for want of
prosecution.
