4. CU0001696 George Watson vs. General Motors, LLC

Defendant General Motors LLC’s demurrer to the fifth cause of action of Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”), to which Plaintiff has filed a written statement of non-opposition, is sustained without leave to amend.

Defendant’s motion to strike the prayer for punitive damages in the TAC is granted without leave to amend. Plaintiff has filed no opposition to the motion; as such, the Court deems Plaintiff’s failure to oppose the motion as consent to the granting of the same. See Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.54(c) (“failure to oppose a motion may be deemed a consent to the granting of the motion.”); see, e.g., Amato v. Downs (2022) 78 Cal.App.5th 435, 440, n.3 (unopposed motion can be granted on that basis, citing rule 8.54(c)).
