ORDER
J. THOMAS RAY, Magistrate Judge
Defendants have filed a Motion asking the Court to compel Plaintiff to answer their January 18, 2016 Interrogatories and Requests for Production. Doc. 64. Plaintiff has not responded to the Motion to Compel, and the time for doing so has expired. See Local Rule 7.2(f) (providing that: "The failure to timely respond to any nondispositive motion . . . shall be an adequate basis, without more, for granting the relief sought in said motion").
Additionally, the Court finds good cause for granting the Motion because Plaintiff's blanket and unspecified "objection" to all twenty-four Interrogatories and seven requests for Production of Documents was improper. See Local Rule 33.1 (clarifying that a "blanket objection" to discovery requests "will not be recognized," and that, instead, objections "must be stated with particularity" to each separate discovery request).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Defendants' Motion to Compel (Doc. 64) is GRANTED. Plaintiff must file, on or before May 27, 2016, his Answers to Defendants' January 18, 2016 Interrogatories and Requests for Production. If he does not timely and properly do so, this case will be dismissed, without prejudice, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37.
