Geico Casualty Company moves to dismiss (or alternatively to sever, bifurcate, and stay)
11
plaintiff German Cabansag’s bad-faith claim against it.1 Cabansag’s deadline to oppose this motion
12
was September 22, 2017. That deadline passed a month ago, and Cabansag has not filed an
13
opposition nor moved to extend his deadline to do so.2 Local Rule 7-2(d) states that “The failure of
14
an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion . . . constitutes a consent to
15
the granting of the motion.” I apply the local rule and deem Cabansag’s failure to oppose these
16
motions as his consent to granting them.
17
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Geico’s Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 5] is
18
GRANTED, and its alternative Motion to Sever, Bifurcate, and Stay [ECF No. 6] is DENIED as
19
moot. Cabansag’s claim for bad faith is DISMISSED, and the 11/6/17 hearing on these
20
motions is VACATED as moot.
