UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CELESTE OLIVAREZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 16-cv-00410-JSW 

ORDER REGARDING MOTION TO 

DISMISS FILED BY MORTGAGE 

ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION 

SYSTEMS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO 

COUNSEL 

Re: Dkt. No. 12 

On April 22, 2016, Defendant Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems (“MERS”) filed a 

motion to dismiss. (Docket No. 12.) That motion was filed by Charles W. Nunley, II, Esq. of 

Malcolm Cisneros. Under Northern District Civil Local Rule 7-3(a), the opposition to that motion 

should have been due on May 6, 2016. No such opposition was filed. 

However, on May 6, 2016, after the case was reassigned to the undersigned Judge, a new 

motion to dismiss was filed on behalf of all Defendants, including MERS, by Gurinder S. Grewal, 

Esq., of Severson & Werson. (Docket No. 21.) There is no indication in the record that Mr. 

Grewal and Severson & Werson have been substituted as counsel in place of Mr. Nunley and 

Malcolm Cisneros. On May 20, 2016, Plaintiff filed an opposition to the May 6, 2016 motion to 

dismiss. 

Finally, no counsel has e-filed a notice of appearance pursuant to Civil Local Rule 

5-1(c)(2). 

Accordingly, Defendants are HEREBY ORDERED to file a joint status report addressing 

the following two issues: 

1. Who currently represents MERS?
