Case No. CV 13-02776 DDP (VBKx)
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’
UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE A THIRD
AMENDED COMPLAINT
[Dkt. No. 419]

16
17

Presently before the court is Plaintiffs’ Motion to File a

18

Third Amended Complaint. (Dkt No. 419.) None of the various

19

Defendants named in the suit have opposed the motion.

20

the court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Motion to File a Third Amended

21

Complaint.

22

Accordingly,

Federal Rule of Civil procedure 15(a) provides in relevant

23

part that a party may amend its pleading after obtaining leave of

24

the court or the consent of the adverse party. Central District of

25

California Local Rule 7-9 requires an opposing party to file an

26

opposition to any motion at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the

27

date designated for hearing the motion.

28

Additionally, Local Rule 7-12 provides that “[t]he failure to file

C.D. CAL. L.R. 7-9.

1

any required document, or the failure to file it within the

2

deadline, may be deemed consent to the granting or denial of the

3

motion.”

4

C.D. CAL. L.R. 7-12.

The hearing on Defendants’ motion was noticed for April 28,

5

2014.

6

As of the date of this Order, Defendants have not filed an

7

opposition or any other filing that could be construed as a request

8

for a continuance.

9

failure to oppose as consent to the filing of the Third Amended

Defendants’ opposition was therefore due by April 7, 2014.

Accordingly, the court deems Defendants’

10

Complaint, and GRANTS the motion.

11

any prior answers filed by defendants shall be deemed filed as to

12

the third amended complaint.

Further the Court orders that

13
IT IS SO ORDERED.
