MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 10, 2014, the United States of America, by counsel, filed a motion
to dismiss the petition for a writ of habeas corpus [Dkt. 8]. In its January 5, 2015 Order, the Court
advised Petitioner of his obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the local rules
of this Court to respond to the motion. Specifically, the Order warned Petitioner that, if he failed
to file an opposition or other response to the motion by February 6, 2015, the Court would treat
the motion as conceded, summarily deny the petition and dismiss the case. To date, Petitioner has
not filed an opposition, requested more time to file an opposition, or advised the Court of any
change of address. The Court, therefore, will grant Respondent’s motion as conceded and will
dismiss the case without prejudice.
An Order is issued separately.
Date: February 20, 2015 /s/
