The heading of the motion referenced “Counts Five Through Seven”. The text of 1

the motion referenced “Counts Five through Six”; however, because the discussion in the

motion clarifies its reference to count seven as well, the plaintiff should address in her

response three counts: 5, 6, and 7.

ORDER ON MOTION

On 10 May 2006, the defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss Counts Five Through Seven

of the complaint (Doc. # 13). Accordingly, it is 1

ORDERED that on or before 16 June 2006, the plaintiff shall show cause in writing

why the motion should not be granted on the grounds alleged. The show cause response

should consist of a short response and a brief in support of the response. 

Thereafter, the motion will be deemed submitted on the motion, the pleadings, and the

plaintiff’s response. The plaintiff is ADVISED that, at this stage of the litigation, the court’s

task is to determine whether, as a matter of law, she should be permitted to proceed on the

three referenced counts. Thus, the court will not consider or evaluate evidence, nor will the

court make credibility findings in case of factual disputes.

The plaintiff is also ADVISED that her failure to respond to the court’s order may

lead to a Recommendation that Counts 5, 6, and 7 of the complaint be DISMISSED.
