The Motion was filed on December 5, 2011, and any response from the Plaintiff was due on or before December 22, 2011. Plaintiff has filed no response, and the Motion is now ripe for decision.

For the reasons stated herein, the Motion is hereby GRANTED and Plaintiff's Complaint is hereby DISMISSED. On July 10, 2009, Plaintiff, Ali Alemi, was a passenger on Qatar Airways Flight 051 from Doha, Qatar to Chantilly, Virginia.
