On December 3, 2018, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment 13 . The plaintiff's motion is premature.

| 2018-12-18 | | MINUTE ORDER. It has come to the Court's attention that the pro se plaintiff may not have received the Court's November 1, 2018, November 20, 2018, and December 4, 2018 minute orders. Accordingly, the due date for the parties' joint status report is extended to January 31, 2019 to give both parties additional time to comply with the Court's November 20, 2018 minute order requiring them to meet and confer and propose a schedule for further proceedings.

| 2019-02-13 | | MINUTE ORDER. The plaintiff's 15 Status Report and the defendant's 16 Status Report indicate that the parties have not yet complied with the Court's November 20, 2018 and December 4, 2018 minute orders directing them to confer. Both reports suggest that the parties have not conferred because the plaintiff believes it is futile to confer because he has filed a motion for summary judgment. As the Court made clear in its order of December 4, 2018, the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is premature and will not be considered at this time. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the plaintiff shall comply with the Court's orders to confer with defense counsel to prepare a joint status report and propose a schedule for further proceedings. The joint status report shall be filed on or before April 3, 2019. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this minute order to the plaintiff at his address of record.

| 2019-12-17 | | MINUTE ORDER. The Court is in receipt of the plaintiff's 26 Supplemental Status Report, which the Court construes as a motion to reopen. The Court DENIES the motion without prejudice because the plaintiff has not provided sufficient grounds to reopen the case. On August 30, after receiving a status report from the government, see Defs.' August 29, 2019 Status Report, Dkt. 22, the Court ordered the plaintiff to confer with the defendants and warned the plaintiff that his continued failure to do so could result in dismissal, see August 30, 2019 Minute Order. On October 15, 2019, after receiving another status report from the government stating that the plaintiff continued not to confer, see Defs.' October 23, 2019 Mot., Dkt 23-1, the Court issued a minute order directing Watson to show cause, on or before November 12, 2019, as to why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, see October 15, 2019 Minute Order. The plaintiff failed to respond to the Court's October 15, 2019 Order, and the Court dismissed the case. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) and Local Rule 83.23; November 25, 2019 Order, Dkt. 24. In his 26 Supplemental Status Report, the plaintiff appears to argue that the government "continues to improperly withhold the records" sought by the plaintiff under FOIA. But in certain instances, the government may withhold records under FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(b). The plaintiff also references his motion for summary judgment filed on December 3, 2018, but the Court denied the plaintiff's earlier motion as premature, as the government had not yet produced documents responsive to the plaintiff's FOIA request. See December 4, 2018 Minute Order. If the plaintiff seeks to reopen this case, he shall file, on or before January 13, 2020, a motion to reopen that provides specific grounds for his failure to respond in a timely fashion to the Court's October 15, 2019. So Ordered by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on December 17, 2019. (lcdlf3) (Entered: 12/17/2019) |

Added MOTION to Dismiss on 7/17/2020 (zeg). (Entered: 07/16/2020) |
| 2020-07-20 | | MINUTE ORDER. Before the Court is the plaintiff's 30 Motion for Summary Judgment and the defendants' 36 Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, Motion for Summary Judgment. The plaintiff is directed to file his reply in support of his motion for summary judgment and any opposition to the defendants' motion on or before July 30, 2020; and the defendants shall file any reply in support of their cross-motion on or before August 6, 2020. The Court reminds the plaintiff that pursuant to Fox v. Strickland, 837 F.2d 507 (D.C. Cir. 1988), failure to respond to the defendant's pending Motions to Dismiss may result in the Court (1) treating the motions as conceded, (2) ruling on the defendants motion based on the defendants arguments alone; or (3) dismissing the plaintiffs claims for failure to prosecute. Further, the Court reminds both parties that under Neal v. Kelly, 963 F.2d 453 (D.C. Cir. 1992), on a motion for summary judgment, "any factual assertions in the movant's affidavits will be accepted as being true unless [the opposing party] submits his own affidavits or other documentary evidence contradicting the assertion." Id. at 456. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e), if a party fails to properly support an assertion of fact or fails to properly address another partys assertion of fact as required by Rule 56(c), the court may: (1) give an opportunity to properly support or address the fact; (2) consider the fact undisputed for purposes of the motion; (3) grant summary judgment if the motion and supporting materials--including the facts considered undisputed--show that the movant is entitled to it; or (4) issue any other appropriate order. And under Local Civil Rule 7(b), if a party opposing summary judgment does not file a memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, the court "may treat the motion as conceded." Thus, failure to respond to in this case carries with it the risk that the case will be dismissed. The Clerk of Court shall mail this minute order to the plaintiff's address on record. So Ordered by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on July 20, 2020. (lcdlf3) (Entered: 07/20/2020) |
