On April 25, 2017, Plaintiff Fantastic Sams Salon Corp. moved for an award of

19

attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $94,107.66. The Motion is set for hearing

due on May 15, 2017.1 To date, the Court has not received any opposition.

Plaintiff erroneously suggests that Defendants’ opposition was due on May 8, 2017. (ECF No.

1

The Court therefore ORDERS as follows:

2

(1)

On or before May 29, 2017, Defendants shall either:

3

(a)

File and serve a written opposition to the Motion; or

4

(b)

File a written explanation with the Court as to why they cannot

5

submit a written opposition to the Motion, and why the Court

6

should not rule on the Motion without hearing opposition from

7

Defendants.
(2)

9

If Defendants file a timely opposition to the Motion, Plaintiff may file

and serve a reply no later than June 7, 2017.
(3)

10

The Court deems the matter appropriate for decision without oral

11

argument. Fed. R. Civ. P. 78(b); C.D. Cal. L.R. 7-15. Thus, the Court VACATES

12

the hearing on the Motion. The Motion will be deemed under submission upon the

13

completion of briefing or after expiration of the time in which to submit briefing,

14

whichever is earlier.

15

The Court cautions Defendants that failure to file a written opposition to

16

the Motion or to provide an adequate explanation for failing to oppose the

17

Motion may be deemed consent to the granting of the Motion in full. C. D. Cal.

18

L.R. 7-12.
