By Order of July 18, 2012, plaintiff was advised to respond to defendants dispositive motion by August 20, 2012, or risk dismissal of the case on what the Court might treat as a conceded motion. On July 31, 2012, the Court permitted to be filed plaintiff s document captioned Plaintiff Initial/Motion Disclosures Discovery, filed pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1), but that filing does not address defendants arguments for dismissal of the complaint.

Bender, 127 F.3d 58, 68 (D.C. Cir. 1997) (discretion lies wholly with the district court to grant motion to dismiss as conceded). A separate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
