Dkt. No. 90. That same day, Defendant Brandon Decker, who is represented by separate counsel, moved for summary judgment on the same ground. Dkt. No. 93. On January 11, 2021, the Court informed McDougal that his response materials were due on February 8, 2021, and warned him that failure to respond to the motions was sufficient cause for the Court to grant the motions. Dkt. No. 99. The February 8 deadline has come and gone, and McDougal did not oppose Markwardt or Decker’s motions for summary judgment. Accordingly, pursuant to Civil L.R. 7(d), the Court will grant the motions and dismiss McDougal’s claims against Markwardt and Decker. This decision does not impact McDougal’s claims against Defendants Janine Montoya, Amanda Deberry, and Monique Penn.
