Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

admissible evidence demonstrating that you failed to exhaust available administrative

remedies, your complaint will be dismissed without prejudice unless your response to

Defendants’ Motion includes admissible evidence sufficient to show that you exhausted all

available administrative remedies or that no administrative remedies were available to you.

Types of admissible evidence may include copies of your grievances, grievance responses

and sworn declarations. 

Additionally, you must comply with the following provisions of Rule 7.2 of the Local

otherwise permitted by the Court, a reply including its supporting

memorandum shall not exceed eleven (11) pages, exclusive of attachments.

motion does not conform in all substantial respects with the requirements of

this Local Rule, or if the unrepresented party or counsel does not serve and file

the required answering memoranda, or if the unrepresented party or counsel

fails to appear at the time and place assigned for oral argument, such

non-compliance may be deemed a consent to the denial or granting of the

motion and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily.
