Edwan Thurmond, Plaintiff v. New American Funding, Defendant
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS
[ECF NO. 5]
JENNIFER A. DORSEY, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
Edwan Thurmond filed this now-removed action against New American Funding as a “Petition for a Verification of Debt,” in which he seeks “to establish whether Defendant has as a standing to bring forth remedies entitled to Defendant....” Defendant New American Funding moves to dismiss, arguing that Thurmond's filing falls far short of stating any viable cause of action. Thurmond's October 25, 2022, deadline to oppose that motion passed without response. Local Rule 7-2(d) provides that “[t]he failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion, except a motion under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56 or a motion for attorney's fees, constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion.” I apply Local Rule 7-2(d) and deem plaintiff's failure to oppose this motion as his consent to granting it.
ECF No. 1-2 at 2.
ECF No. 5.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the motion to dismiss [ECF No. 5] is GRANTED. This action is DISMISSED, and the Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE THIS CASE.
