(Civil RICO remedies).
On April 2, 2012, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). See Court's Docket, Doc. No. 8. Plaintiff did not oppose the motion, but instead lodged a proposed First Amended Complaint reasserting only the cause of action under the FDCPA, along with several novel claims. On May 16, 2012, the Court granted Defendants' motion in part, dismissed the First Cause of Action under the FDCPA, and directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint (or direct the Clerk to file the proposed First Amended Complaint) within twenty (20) days. See id. Doc. No. 20.
Plaintiff did not timely file or serve any amended complaint. As permitted by the Court's prior order, Defendants have renewed their motion to dismiss the remaining claims in the operative complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). See id., Doc. No. 21. This motion is set for hearing on July 9, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 2. Plaintiff has failed to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition within the time provided by the Local Rules. The Court has determined that this matter is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Local Rule 230(g). The previously set hearing date of July 9, 2012 hearing date shall be vacated, and, for the reasons stated herein, the Court will grant Defendants' motion.
