UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLY FINANCIAL INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL G. PETERS

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1522-TLN-KJN 

ORDER

Presently pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for default judgment, which was 

filed on July 28, 2016, and noticed for hearing on September 8, 2016. (ECF No. 19.) Defendant 

failed to oppose the motion in accordance with Local Rule 230(c). As such, the court vacates the 

hearing on the motion. Nevertheless, out of abundance of caution, the court provides defendant 

with one final opportunity to appear and oppose the motion. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The September 8, 2016 hearing on plaintiff’s motion is vacated.

2. No later than September 15, 2016, defendant shall file any opposition to plaintiff’s 

motion.

3. Any reply brief shall be due September 29, 2016.

4. Thereafter, the motion will be submitted for decision without oral argument on the 

record and written briefing pursuant to Local Rule 230(g). If the court subsequently 

determines that oral argument or supplemental briefing is necessary, the parties will be 

notified.

5. No later than September 15, 2016, any appearing parties shall indicate whether or not 

they consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge for all purposes, 

including the entry of final judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Importantly, the 

parties have no obligation to so consent, but the consent/decline designation merely 

assists the court in determining how plaintiff’s motion should be administratively 

processed.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: August 30, 2016
