On May 15, 2013, all Defendants except Dr. Mary Hammond were granted summary judgment and dismissed from this matter.

Plaintiff, appearing pro se, and counsel for Defendant Hammond appeared before Magistrate Judge McDonald on May 21, 2013. On May 24, 2013, Defendant Hammond filed a motion for extension of time to file dispositive motions. Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to oppose Defendant s motion, which he did not do.

On June 12, 2013, the court entered an order, pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 1 309 (4th Cir. 1975), notifying Plaintiff of the summary judgment procedure and the importance of responding in a proper and timely manner.1 Plaintiff has failed to file a response to Defendant Hammond s motion and the time for doing so has expired. For the reasons set forth in Defendant Hammond s motion, with which the court agrees and adopts as its findings, Defendant Dr. Mary Hammond s motion for summary judgment is granted and she is dismissed from this action with prejudice. As all other Defendants have been dismissed from this matter, the Clerk shall close this case. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/ Cameron McGowan Currie CAMERON MCGOWAN CURRIE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Columbia, South Carolina July 22, 2013 1 Matters relating to prison conditions are generally referred to a United States Magistrate Judge of this court for initial review and other pretrial proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 73.02(B)(2)(f). However, this court retains the authority to withdraw the reference and proceed to consider a matter without a Report and Recommendation from a Magistrate Judge. The Magistrate Judge originally assigned to this case entered a Report and Recommendation as to all other issues in this case; therefore, this court does not believe re-referral to the Magistrate Judge is necessary. Accordingly, the court hereby withdraws the reference to the Magistrate Judge as to this motion for summary judgment. 2
