Ragland vs. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

Defendant has not filed a timely opposition or response to the motion and thus, has waived any arguments regarding the motion. (See Nazir v. United Airlines, Inc. (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 243, 288 [failure to address or oppose issue in motion constitutes waiver of that issue]; see DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Co. v. Superior Court (2000) 78 Cal.App.4th 562, 566 [holding that failure to challenge contention in brief results in the concession on that issue].)

Plaintiff shall give notice of this ruling.
