CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:04-CV-0714.
November 1, 2007
ORDER
AND NOW, this 1st day of November, 2007, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Defendants' motion for involuntary dismissal (Doc. No. 96) is DEEMED WITHDRAWN for failure to comply with Local Rule 7.5, and Plaintiff's unopposed motion to voluntarily dismiss Defendants Annette (Watson) Allen and Peter Zirrili (Doc. No. 101) is GRANTED. Defendants Annette Watson and Peter Zirrili shall be dismissed from this suit.
Local Rule 7.5 provides that a party must file a brief in support of a motion within ten (10) days of the filing of such motion, with certain limited exceptions inapplicable to Defendants' motion. See LR 7.5. The rule further provides, "if supporting legal briefs are not filed within the time provided in this rule such motion shall be deemed to be withdrawn." Id. Defendants filed their motion on October 10, 2007, and more than ten days have passed without any brief in support being submitted to the Court.
