REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

BRISTOW MARCHANT, Magistrate Judge.

This action has been filed by the Plaintiff seeking relief pursuant to Title 42, United States Code, § 1983, and the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. § 2671, et. seq. On December 23, 2019, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of this case because Plaintiff failed to exhaust her administrative remedies under the FTCA prior to filing this lawsuit, and has failed to state a proper claim under § 1983.1 However, notwithstanding having been granted two (2) extensions of time, Plaintiff has failed to file any response to the Defendants' motion, which is now before the Court for disposition.

Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that this action be dismissed for lack of prosecution. See Davis v. Williams, 588 F.2d 69, 70 (4th Cir. 1978); Rule 41(b), Fed.R.Civ.P.; see also Coker v. International Paper Co., No. 08-1865, 2010 WL 1072643, at * 2 (D.S.C. March 18, 2010) [Noting that plaintiff can abandon claims by failing to address them in response to a dispositive motion.]; Jones v. Family Health Ctr., Inc., 323 F.Supp.2d 681, 690 (D.S.C. 2003) [Noting that claim not addressed in opposition memorandum had been abandoned].
