Facts and Procedural History
In August 2005, Lee purchased real property through a mortgage note and deed of trust

originated by defendant Countrywide. Eventually, Lee defaulted on the mortgage note and

21

defendants initiated non-judicial foreclosure proceedings.

The failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion

23

shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion under LR 7-2(d). Moreover, the court finds

24

that defendants’ motion to expunge lis pendens is warranted based on the court’s July 5, 2012 order
