Robert M. Cox,
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This action was originally filed by the Plaintiff, pro se, in State Summary Court
(Dorchester County). The case was subsequently removed to this United States District Court by
the Defendant on the basis of diversity of citizenship. 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Following removal of the
case, the Defendant filed a Rule 12 motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.
As the Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, a Roseboro order was entered by the Court on
September 27, 2018, 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 adequately
respond to the Defendant’s motion, his case could be dismissed. Plaintiff thereafter filed a response
in opposition to the Defendant’s motion, to which the Defendant filed a reply. Defendant’s motion
is now before the Court for disposition.1
