REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

BRISTOW MARCHANT, Magistrate Judge.

This action was originally filed by the Plaintiff, pro se, in South Carolina State Court, Charleston County, and was removed to this Court by the Defendants pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, on the grounds that Plaintiff asserts claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, and related regulations imposed pursuant to that statute. On March 19, 2014, the Defendant Evan Sirlin filed a motion to be dismissed as a party Defendant on the grounds that this Court does not have jurisdiction over him. As the Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, a Roseboro Order was entered by the Court on March 21, 2014, advising Plaintiff of the importance of a dispositive motion and of the need for him to file an adequate response. Plaintiff was specifically advised that if he failed to file a properly supported response, the Defendant's motion may be granted.

After receiving an extension of time to respond, a status conference was held on May 14, 2014 which was attended by the pro se Plaintiff and counsel for the Defendants. At the conclusion of this status conference, Plaintiff was granted ten (10) days from his receipt of specified discovery responses to respond to the motion to dismiss. That deadline expired, with no response in opposition having been filed. However, in consideration of Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court granted Plaintiff an additional ten (10) days to file his response, but he was specifically placed on notice that if he failed to respond, the Defendant's motion would be granted. See Court Docket No. 29. The Court thereafter granted yet another extension to respond. See Court Docket No. 32. However, that period of time has now also expired, and, notwithstanding the specific warning and instructions as set forth in the Court's Roseboro order and having been granted multiple extensions, the Plaintiff has failed to respond to the motion.

Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the Defendant's motion be granted and that the Defendant Evan Sirlin be dismissed as a party Defendant in this case. Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95 (4th Cir. 1989), cert. denied sub nom, Ballard v. Volunteers of America, 493 U.S. 1084 (1990) [Magistrate Judge's prior explicit warning that a recommendation of dismissal would result from plaintiff failing to obey his order was proper grounds for the district court to dismiss suit when plaintiff did not comply despite warning]; see Simpson v. Welch, 900 F.2d 33, 35-36 (4th Cir.1990); see also Ballard, 882 F.2d at 95-96 [holding that district court's dismissal following an explicit and reasonable warning was not an abuse of discretion].
