![PAPERLESS ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. The Plaintiff’s response to the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 36] was due on June 5, 2026. See Paperless Order Extending Briefing Schedule [ECF No. 60]. Rather than timely file his response, the Plaintiff filed two eleventh-hour procedural motions the day his response was due. See Motion for Leave to File Excess Pages [ECF No. 65]; Motion for Leave to File Under Seal [ECF No. 67]. Neither motion explained why the Plaintiff delayed so long in seeking the requested relief or asked that we extend the response deadline pending our adjudication of the motions. And, as of this writing, the Plaintiff has missed the deadline to file his response.Accordingly, we hereby ORDER that by June 10, 2026, the Plaintiff shall file a notice on the docket explaining: (1) whether we should consider the Motion to Dismiss unopposed and (2) why we shouldn’t sanction the Plaintiff’s counsel for their apparent disregard of court deadlines. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 6/8/2026.
