MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
STACI M. YANDLE, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Union Carbide Corporation's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 262). Defendant Union Carbide Corporation filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on October 2, 2014. Plaintiff's response was due November 6, 2014. The plaintiff has failed to file a response to Defendant's Motion. The Court may, it its discretion, construe a party's failure to file a timely response as an admission of the merits of the motion, and the Court will do so in this case. See Local Rule 7.1(c) (requiring a response to a motion for summary judgment be filed 30 days after service of the motion and stating a failure to timely respond may be deemed an admission of the merits of the motion); see also Tobel v. City of Hammond, 94 F.3d 360, 362 (7th Cir.1996) ("[T]he district court clearly has authority to enforce strictly its Local Rules, even if a default results."). In conclusion, the Court GRANTS Defendant Union Carbide Corporation's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 262).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
