MARY T. NEUMEYER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ALLIANCE BANCORP, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01789-HSG 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

DISMISS; DENYING MOTION TO 

STRIKE

Re: Dkt. No. 11, 12

On June 23, 2015, Defendant Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (“MERS”) 

filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint filed by pro se Plaintiffs Mary and Walter Neumeyer,

Dkt. No. 11, and a Motion to Strike Plaintiffs’ request for attorneys’ fees, Dkt. No. 12. Plaintiffs

did not respond to these motions by either the default July 7, 2015 deadline or the August 14, 2015

extended deadline as ordered by the Court. Dkt. No. 27. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), 

these motions are deemed suitable for disposition without oral argument, and the hearing 

scheduled for August 20, 2015 is therefore vacated.

The Court GRANTS MERS’s unopposed Motion to Dismiss, and the Complaint, Dkt. No. 

1, is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

1

 Plaintiffs are granted leave to file a First 

Amended Complaint by no later than September 11, 2015. Failure to file a First Amended 

Complaint by that date will result in dismissal of the claims against MERS in this action with 

prejudice. 

Plaintiffs are advised that the Legal Help Center at both the San Francisco and Oakland 

Federal Courthouses provides free information and limited-scope legal advice to pro se litigants in 

civil cases. Services are provided by appointment only. An appointment may be scheduled by 

 

1 MERS’s Motion to Strike is DENIED as moot.
