motions to his counsel’s illness. Specifically, plaintiff’s

counsel asserts:

Due to illness, which caused me financial problems, I have

become over whelmed [sic] with my work load and office

management. [] Failure to respond to these documents was

inadvertent and not an intentional delay tactic. 

Doc #15 at 1 of 1. 

In light of counsel’s apparent illness, plaintiff is

ORDERED to file an opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss on

or before June 28, 2010. Failure to file an opposition will be

grounds to dismiss this action in its entirety.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
