Opinion
Case No. EDCV 11-01187 DDP (DTBx).
August 31, 2011
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO REMAND [Motion filed on 8/10/11]
Presently before the court is Plaintiff's Motion to Remand. Because Defendant has not filed any opposition, the court GRANTS the motion.
Central District of California Local Rule 7-9 requires an opposing party to file an opposition to any motion at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the date designated for hearing the motion. C.D. CAL. L.R. 7-9. Additionally, Local Rule 7-12 provides that "[t]he failure to file any required paper, or the failure to file it within the deadline, may be deemed consent to the granting or denial of the motion." C.D. CAL. L.R. 7-12.
The hearing on Plaintiff's motion was set for September 12, 2011. Defendant's opposition was therefore due by August 22, 2011. As of the date of this Order, Defendant has not filed an opposition, or any other filing that could be construed as a request for a continuance. Accordingly, the court deems Defendant's failure to oppose as consent to granting the motion to remand, and GRANTS the motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
