ORDER
ROY B. DALTON, Jr., District Judge.
This cause is before the Court on its own motion.
Plaintiff initiated the instant action on October 13, 2015, against twenty-one defendants.1 (Doc. 1.) On October 4, 2016, Defendants WKMG TV Local 6 and My News 13 moved for dismissal on grounds that the complaint: (1) is an improper shotgun pleading; and (2) fails to allege sufficient facts to state claims upon which relief may be granted. (Doc. 44 ("MTD").) Plaintiff's response to the MTD was due on or before August 21, 2016. Local Rule 3.01(b) (requiring a party opposing a motion to file a response within 14 days after service of the motion); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d) (providing three additional days to respond). The filing deadline has now passed, and Plaintiff has yet to file a response in opposition to the MTD.
Nonetheless, in light of Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court will permit Plaintiff to file a late response. Accordingly, Plaintiff is DIRECTED to respond to Defendants WKMG TV Local 6 and My News 13's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 44) on or before, Friday, November 4, 2016. Failure to file such response will result in dismissal of this action without further notice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

On August 1, 2016, U.S. Magistrate Judge David A. Baker granted Plaintiff's Motion to Separate and directed the Clerk to open this docket. (See Docs. 22, 27.)
