Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty days of the date of this 

order, Plaintiff shall file an opposition, if any, to the motion for summary judgment. 

Failure to file an opposition will be deemed as a statement of non-opposition and shall 

result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
