In violation of Local Rule 230(l), plaintiff failed to timely file an opposition or statement of non-opposition to defendants' motion. Accordingly, on December 18, 2020, plaintiff was ordered to show cause within twenty-one days why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with the court's local rules. ECF No. 65. He was also ordered to file, within twenty-one days, a response to defendants' motion to defendants' motion. Id. at 2. Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply with the court's order would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. Id. To date, plaintiff has not filed an opposition or statement of non-opposition to defendants' motion, nor otherwise responded to the court's December 18, 2020 order.
Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that:
1. This action be dismissed for failure to prosecute, failure to comply with court orders, and for failure to comply with the court's local rules. See ECF No. 65.
