Plaintiff Travis Ward (“Plaintiff”), proceeding with counsel, filed the instant action on

was referred to the undersigned for the preparation of findings and recommendations. (Doc. 18.)

granting of the motion be filed and served no later than fourteen (14) days after the motion was 

filed. L.R. 230(c). The “failure to file a timely opposition may also be construed by the Court as 

a non-opposition to the motion.” L.R. 230(c). Plaintiff’s opposition or non-opposition to the 

motion to dismiss was due no later than October 8, 2024. No opposition has been filed.
