EDWIN GARRISON, et al., on behalf of themselves 

and all others similarly situated 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

SAM BANKMAN-FRIED, et al., 

 Defendants. 

___________________________________________/ 

SPECIALLY APPEARING DEFENDANT SAM TRABUCCO’S NOTICE OF 

PLAINTIFFS’ NON-OPPOSITION TO MR. TRABUCCO’S MOTION TO DISMISS 

 Specially Appearing Defendant Sam Trabucco respectfully submits this notice of 

Plaintiffs’ non-opposition to Mr. Trabucco’s April 14, 2023 motion to dismiss. 

RELEVANT PROCEDURAL HISTORY 

On April 14, 2023, Mr. Trabucco moved to dismiss all of the claims against him for 

improper service, lack of personal jurisdiction, or alternatively, failure to state a claim. ECF 

No. 155. This Court did not enter (nor did Plaintiffs request) any order modifying or extending 

the default deadline for Plaintiffs to respond in opposition to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to 

dismiss.1

 As a result, Local Rule 7.1(c)(1)’s default 14-day deadline governed Plaintiffs’ time 

to respond to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss. 

1

 The Court’s April 11, 2023 order (ECF No. 132) set a modified briefing schedule only for the 

Celebrity Defendants’ motions to dismiss. Mr. Trabucco is not a Celebrity Defendant, and Mr. 

Trabucco did not join in the Celebrity Defendants’ April 7, 2023 motion (ECF No. 125) that 

the April 11, 2023 order (ECF No. 132) resolved.

2 

The 14-day response deadline passed on April 28, 2023, and Plaintiffs elected not to 

respond to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss. Accordingly, Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss 

should be deemed unopposed and granted on that independent basis as well as for the reasons 

detailed in Mr. Trabucco’s unopposed motion to dismiss. See Local Rule 7.1(c)(1) (“Failure to 

[timely file a response] may be deemed sufficient cause for granting the motion by default.”). 

CONCLUSION 

Mr. Trabucco’s unopposed motion to dismiss should be granted, and all claims against 

Mr. Trabucco should be dismissed for improper service, lack of personal jurisdiction, or 

alternatively, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 

Respectfully submitted on May 1, 2023. /s/ Jonathan S. Klein
