Opinion
Case No. 6:05-cv-1330-Orl-31KRS.
March 27, 2006
ORDER
Respondents filed a Response (Doc. No. 10), in which they incorporate a request to dismiss the Petition. They submitted numerous documents in support of their request to dismiss the Petition.
Petitioner will be provided with an opportunity to file a reply to the Response. Petitioner should not depend upon the mere allegations in his pleadings to counter the Response. Petitioner should respond with counter sworn affidavits and/or documents to set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue of material fact in dispute. If Petitioner fails to respond to the Response, or, if he responds and the response does not demonstrate that there is a genuine issue of material fact, the Court may declare that the facts in the affidavits and/or documents supporting the Response are established as true and that there is no genuine issue of material fact in dispute. In that event, if the applicable law allows, Respondents will be entitled to have the case dismissed and final judgment entered in their favor based upon the pleadings, affidavits, and other documentation. In that event, there will be no evidentiary hearing, and the case will be terminated in this Court.
Petitioner shall have THIRTY (30) DAYS from the date of this order to reply to the Response. Thereafter, the Response will be taken under advisement by the Court and an order entered thereon without further notice. Petitioner is again warned that an order could result in the case being terminated without any further proceedings.
DONE AND ORDERED.
