UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MARK R. PETERS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0834 JAM AC (PS) 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is proceeding in this removed action pro se. This proceeding was accordingly 

referred to the undersigned by E.D. Cal. R. (“Local Rule”) 302(c)(21). 

 Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and 

noticed the motion for a June 8, 2016 hearing. ECF No. 3. Plaintiff did not timely oppose the 

motion, but has now filed a motion to remand the case back to state court on the grounds that this 

court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. ECF No. 6. 

 The court will construe plaintiff’s motion to remand as a cross-motion and opposition, and 

will excuse its late filing. However, plaintiff is cautioned that even though he is proceeding without 

counsel, he is obligated to comply with the Local Rules of this court. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. No later than June 15, 2016, plaintiff shall file an Opposition to defendants’ Motion To 

Dismiss, or a statement that he is relying on his motion to remand;
