UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DWAYNE C SMITH, ET AL., 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC D/B/A MR. COOPER, 

Defendant.

CASE NO. 18-cv-05612-YGR 

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFFS’ FAILURE TO FILE 

AN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION 

TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. No. 10 

On September 20, 2018, defendant Nationstar Mortgage LLC d/b/a/ Mr. Cooper filed a 

motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). 

(Dkt. No. 10.) The hearing on the motion was originally set for November 8, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. 

Following reassignment to the undersigned, defendant re-noticed the pending motion to dismiss 

for hearing on November 13, 2018. (Dkt. No. 13.) 

Under this Court’s Civil Local Rule 7-3, plaintiff was required to file either an opposition 

to the motion to dismiss, or a notice that plaintiff does not oppose dismissal. Civ. L.R. 7-3(a), (b). 

Plaintiff’s response was due on October 4, 2018. As of the date of this Order, plaintiff has filed 

neither an opposition nor a notice of non-opposition. As a result, the Court is considering 

dismissing plaintiff’s lawsuit for failure to prosecute. 

The Court hereby extends plaintiff’s time to file their response. Plaintiff shall file an 

opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss (or a statement of non-opposition) by no later 

than Friday, November 2, 2018. Failure to file a response by that date will result in 

dismissal of this lawsuit for failure to prosecute. Any reply to plaintiff’s response must be filed 

not more than 7 days thereafter. 

The Court further VACATES the hearing currently set for November 13, 2018. After 

briefing is complete, the Court may reset a hearing date if necessary.
