The motions shall be filed in a single, fully integrated joint brief as set forth in our Order Re: Summary Judgment Motions issued concurrently herewith. Because we require summary judgment motions to be filed in the joint brief format, there is no need for a staggered briefing schedule as proposed by the Parties. Prior to filing the summary judgment motions, the Parties shall meet and confer in full compliance with Local Rule 7-3 and our Order Re: Summary Judgment Motions. We will permit the parties to meet and confer by telephone or any other means of real-time communication.

April 17, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 19 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER re: Motion to Dismiss the United States Department of Justice; #14 by Judge George H. King granting #14 Motion to Dismiss Case: This matter is before the Court on Defendant United States Department of Justice's ("Defendant") Motion to Dismiss ("Motion"). We have considered the papers filed in support of this Motion, and deem this matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument. L.R. 7-15. The deadline for Plaintiff to file a timely opposition to this Motion has passed, and Plaintiff has failed to file an opposition. See L.R. 7-9. Local Rule 7-12 provides: Failure to File Required Papers. The Court may decline to consider any memorandum or other paper not filed within the deadline set by order or local rule. The failure to file any required paper, or the failure to file it within the deadline, may be deemed consent to the granting or denial of the motion. Thus, Plaintiff's failure to file an opposition is deemed its non-opposition to Defendant's Motion and its consent to the granting of the relief sought. See Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 5354 (9th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, Defendant's Motion is GRANTED and Plaintiff's Complaint is DISMISSED as against the United States Department of Justice. (bm)
