Opinion
Civil Action No. 12-1992 (JEB)
03-11-2013
VICTOR CARL HONEY, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiff Victor Honey filed a three-sentence pro se Complaint in D.C. Superior Court on October 4, 2012. He alleged that the United States Marshals Service abused process in connection with a landlord-tenant case in Superior Court. See ECF No. 1 (Notice of Removal), Attach. 2 (Complaint). After USMS removed the case to this Court, it filed a Motion to Dismiss. See ECF No. 4. On January 17, 2013, the Court issued a Minute Order directing Plaintiff to respond to the Motion by February 8 or risk the Court's deeming the matter conceded. When Plaintiff failed to do so, the Court issued a longer Order citing Fox v. Strickland, 837 F.2d 507 (D.C. Cir. 1988), and instructing Plaintiff to file a response by March 6 or risk dismissal. See ECF No. 6. Plaintiff has still not responded.
The Court will, therefore, treat the Motion as conceded and dismiss the case without prejudice. A contemporaneous Order will so state.
