UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTHA FLORES,

Plaintiff,

v.

TARGET CORPORATION, a Minnesota 

Corporation dba "TARGET" and/or 

"TARGET STORES" and DOES 1-20,

Defendants.

Case No.: 3:16-cv-03101-BEN-NLS

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S SEVENTH 

AND EIGHTH CLAIMS FOR 

RELIEF

Defendant Target Corporation (“Target”) has moved to dismiss with prejudice 

Plaintiff’s seventh claim for relief for breach of written contract and eighth claim for 

relief for breach of implied contract. (Doc. No. 5.) The Civil Local Rules required 

Plaintiff to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition by January 30, 2017. That 

deadline has passed, and Plaintiff has not filed an opposition or statement of nonopposition. 

Under Civil Local Rule 7.1.f.3.c, if a party fails to file an opposition or statement 

of non-opposition by the required deadline, the Court may treat that failure as consent to 

the granting of the motion. See Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53-54 (9th Cir. 1995) 

(affirming dismissal for failure to file opposition as required by local rule). On the basis

of this rule, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED and Plaintiff’s seventh and eighth 

claims for relief are DISMISSED without prejudice.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 27, 2017

 

1 Defendant seeks a dismissal with prejudice. However, because the Court is granting 

Defendant’s motion on the basis of Plaintiff’s failure to file an opposition or statement of 

non-opposition, and is not adjudicating the merits, the Court dismisses the claims without 

prejudice.
