Counterclaimant Ronald S. Lesniak ("R. Lesniak") alleges claims against CounterDefendant Jamie Kniep ("Kniep") for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress ("IIED"), and fraud. Kniep moves pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) to dismiss the counterclaims. Under this Court's Civil Local Rules, R. Lesniak's opposition was due at least twenty-one days before the noticed hearing date of December 17, 2010 ­ here, not later than November 26, 2010. See CIV. L.R. 7-3(a). As of the date of this order, R. Lesniak has not filed opposition papers. The Court presumes that the lack of opposition is based on the fact that on November 16, 2010, the Court granted a similar motion by Counter-Defendants TMX Funding, Inc. and Bing Sun, and that R. Lesniak intends to file amended counterclaims within the time permitted by that order. Accordingly, Kniep's motion also will be deemed granted with leave to amend, and the hearing date of December 17, 2010 will be vacated.

IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: 12/10/2010
