Plaintiff,
v.
YELLOW CHECKER STAR, INC.,
Defendant.

Case No. 2:15-cv-00344-APG-GWF
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED
MOTION TO DISMISS AND
GRANTING MOTION TO VACATE
EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION
(ECF Nos. 18, 24)

Plaintiff Bernadette Guinn initiated this action in February 2015 but did not serve

11

Defendant Yellow Checker Star until May 2, 2017. Yellow Checker moved to dismiss based on

12

untimely service of process. Guinn did not respond. In the meantime, Magistrate Judge Hoffman

13

scheduled an early neutral evaluation. ECF No. 21. Yellow Checker moves to vacate the early

14

neutral evaluation and to grant the unopposed motion to dismiss.

15

I grant Yellow Checker’s motion to dismiss as unopposed. See LR 7-2(d). Moreover, the

16

motion is meritorious because despite ample time to serve Yellow Checker, Guinn did not do so.

17

She has not shown good cause to extend the service deadline. I therefore grant the motion to

18

dismiss and vacate the early neutral evaluation.

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant Yellow Checker Star, Inc.’s motion to

20

dismiss (ECF No. 18) is GRANTED. The amended complaint is dismissed without prejudice for

21

failure to timely effect service of process. The clerk of court is directed to close this case.

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant Yellow Checker Star, Inc.’s motion to vacate

23

the early neutral evaluation (ECF No. 24) is GRANTED. The early neutral evaluation

24

scheduled for June 20, 2017 before Magistrate Judge Hoffman is VACATED.

25

DATED this 14th day of June, 2017.
