Case No. 4:10-cv-311
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Motion for Summary Judgment and
Brief in Support (Doc. No. 19). Having considered the motion, the applicable law, and the lack of opposition
from Plaintiffs, the motion is GRANTED.
Plaintiffs filed this case to challenge Defendants’ actions regarding Plaintiffs’ residential mortgage.
Plaintiffs allege that Defendants made material misrepresentations pertaining to the mortgage, in violation
of the common law and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The Court dismissed the individual
Defendants on September 8, 2010.
JPMorgan Chase—the only remaining Defendant—filed a motion for summary judgment on March
18, 2011. Plaintiffs failed to respond to the motion for summary judgment. On April 27, 2011, the Court
ordered Plaintiffs to respond to motion for summary judgment by May 6, 2011 (Doc. No. 20). A copy of the
order was sent by certified mail to each of the Plaintiffs and to their attorney. Plaintiffs received the order on
May 5, 2011 (Doc. Nos. 22, 23). To date, Plaintiffs still have not responded to Defendant JPMorgan Chase’s
motion for summary judgment. Under Local Rule CV-7(d), when a party fails to oppose a motion, the Court
will assume there is no opposition.
Furthermore, pursuant to Local Rule CV-56(c), Defendants’ version of the facts as claimed in the
motion for summary judgment and supported by admissible evidence is assumed to be true unless Plaintiffs
respond with competing summary judgment evidence. Defendants properly supported their factual allegations,
and .Plaintiffs have not responded. Thus the Court assumes Defendants’ factual allegations are true.
Given the uncontroverted facts and the applicable law, Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter
of law under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56.
Accordingly, Defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Brief in
Support (Doc. No. 19) is hereby GRANTED.
It is SO ORDERED.
SIGNED this 7th day of June, 2011.
