ORDER

Plaintiff, Julia Gerard, is proceeding in this action pro se. This matter was, therefore,

referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

The matter came before the court on September 12, 2014, for hearing of defendant Wells 

Fargo Bank, N.A.’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Attorney Chanel Oldham appeared on behalf of defendant 

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. No appearance was made by, or on behalf of, plaintiff despite the fact 

that the court continued the hearing of defendant’s motion from September 5, 2014 to September 

12, 2014, so that plaintiff could appear, either in person or by telephone, at the hearing. (Dkt. No. 

13.)

Under Local Rule 230(i), plaintiff’s failure to appear may be deemed a withdrawal of her 

opposition to defendant’s motion to dismiss. Moreover, plaintiff’s failure to appear also raises
