(Doc. 30).

The Court is required to adequately advise Plaintiff of the significance of Defendants’ Motion.

See Griffith v. Wainwright, 772 F.2d 822, 825 (11th Cir. 1985). In an effort to afford Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, adequate notice and time to respond to Defendants’ Motion, the following notice is given. Under the procedures and policies of this Court, motions to dismiss are normally decided on briefs. Plaintiff may submit his argument to this Court by filing a brief in opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. Unless the Court has granted permission, any brief should not exceed twenty (20) pages. M.D. Ga. Civ. L.R. 7.4.

FAILURE OF PLAINTIFF TO RESPOND TO AND REBUT THE LEGAL ARGUMENTS SET FORTH IN DEFENDANTS’ BRIEF MAY RESULT IN THESE STATEMENTS BEING ACCEPTED AS UNCONTESTED AND CORRECT.

The Court could grant judgment and there would be no trial or further proceedings in this case.

Accordingly, Plaintiff is NOTIFIED of his right to submit a response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss WITHIN TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS of the date of this Notice. As explained above, if Plaintiff fails to file a brief in opposition to the Motion to Dismiss, a final judgment may be rendered against him if Plaintiff’s response. Thereafter, the Court will consider Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and any opposition to the same filed by Plaintiff and issue its ruling.

SO ORDERED, this 12th day March, 2026. s/ ALFREDA L. SHEPPARD UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
