Defendants.

Plaintiff, GS Holistic, LLC, filed a motion for default judgment against Shaibi Abdulqawi

18

on October 17, 2023. (ECF No. 30.) The matter is set for hearing on December 5, 2023.

19

Pursuant to Local Rule 230(c), defendants were required to file an opposition or statement of non-

20

opposition to the motion no later than fourteen (14) days after the filing date of the motion, i.e.,

21

October 31, 2023. Although that deadline has passed, no opposition or statement of non-

22

opposition has been filed.

23

Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of the court’s desire to resolve the action on

24

the merits, the court provides defendants one additional, final opportunity to oppose the motion.
