`
`SPECIALLY APPEARING DEFENDANT SAM TRABUCCO’S NOTICE OF
`PLAINTIFFS’ NON-OPPOSITION TO MR. TRABUCCO’S MOTION TO DISMISS
`
`
`
`Specially Appearing Defendant Sam Trabucco respectfully submits this notice of
`
`Plaintiffs’ non-opposition to Mr. Trabucco’s April 14, 2023 motion to dismiss.
`
`RELEVANT PROCEDURAL HISTORY
`
`On April 14, 2023, Mr. Trabucco moved to dismiss all of the claims against him for
`
`improper service, lack of personal jurisdiction, or alternatively, failure to state a claim. ECF
`
`No. 155. This Court did not enter (nor did Plaintiffs request) any order modifying or extending
`
`the default deadline for Plaintiffs to respond in opposition to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to
`
`dismiss.1 As a result, Local Rule 7.1(c)(1)’s default 14-day deadline governed Plaintiffs’ time
`
`to respond to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss.
`
`
`1 The Court’s April 11, 2023 order (ECF No. 132) set a modified briefing schedule only for the
`
`Celebrity Defendants’ motions to dismiss. Mr. Trabucco is not a Celebrity Defendant, and Mr.
`
`Trabucco did not join in the Celebrity Defendants’ April 7, 2023 motion (ECF No. 125) that
`
`the April 11, 2023 order (ECF No. 132) resolved.

`
`
`The 14-day response deadline passed on April 28, 2023, and Plaintiffs elected not to
`
`respond to Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss. Accordingly, Mr. Trabucco’s motion to dismiss
`
`should be deemed unopposed and granted on that independent basis as well as for the reasons
`
`detailed in Mr. Trabucco’s unopposed motion to dismiss. See Local Rule 7.1(c)(1) (“Failure to
`
`[timely file a response] may be deemed sufficient cause for granting the motion by default.”).
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`
`
`Mr. Trabucco’s unopposed motion to dismiss should be granted, and all claims against
`
`Mr. Trabucco should be dismissed for improper service, lack of personal jurisdiction, or
`
`alternatively, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
`
`Respectfully submitted on May 1, 2023.
