If the party or parties which filed the motion (hereinafter, the "moving party") have
filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), the party or parties
against whom that motion is filed (hereinafter, the "non−moving party") must file
points and authorities in opposition to that motion within 14 days after service of
the motion. Local Rule 7−2(b). The failure to file points and authorities in response
to any motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion. Local Rule
7−2(d). The court may then grant the motion and dismiss the non−moving party's
claims. If the non−moving party does not agree that its claims should be dismissed,
it must file and serve points and authorities in opposition within 14 days from the
date the moving party served the non−moving party with the motion.
