Habon v. Caliper Home Loans Inc

THE HONORABLE JOHN C. COUGHENOUR UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 8 AT SEATTLE ROGER HABON, CASE NO. C20-0266-JCC Plaintiff, ORDER 11 v. CALIPER HOME LOANS, INC. et al., 13 Defendants.

15 This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Caliber Home Loans, Inc.’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 9). Plaintiff has failed to respond to Defendant’s motion. If a plaintiff fails to respond to a defendant’s motion to dismiss, then a district court may dismiss the case without reaching the merits. See W.D. Wash. Local Civ. R. 7(b)(2); Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53–54 (9th Cir. 1995); Marcus v. ABC Signature Studios, Inc., 279 F. Supp. 3d 1056, 1063 (C.D. Cal. 2017). The Court finds that approach appropriate here. Consequently, the Court DISMISSES Plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case.

22 DATED this 2nd day of June 2020.

A John C. Coughenour 26 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
