Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BETTY GRAHAM,

Plaintiff,

v. Civil Action No. 24-1308 (TJK) MEDSTAR WASHINGTON HOSPITAL CENTER

Defendant.

MEMORANDUM

On May 31, 2024, Defendant moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a

claim upon which relief can be granted or, alternatively, for summary judgment. The parties jointly

moved for an extension of time to respond to the motion, which the Court granted. Plaintiff was

then ordered to respond to Defendant’s Motion by July 5, 2024. Plaintiff did not respond or request

an additional extension of time to do so in the time provided by Local Rule 7(b). For that reason,

on July 23, 2024, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause by August 16, 2024, why it should not

treat Defendant’s motion as conceded. Again, Plaintiff has not responded, so the Court will treat

Defendant’s motion to dismiss as conceded. See LCvR 7(b) (if a memorandum in opposition is

not filed within the time directed by the Court, “the Court may treat the motion as conceded”). For

all the above reasons, the Court will grant Defendant’s motion to dismiss the case. A separate

order will issue.
