ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS
On October 7, 2009, Darren Grant filed an action against Aurora Loan Services, Inc. in the Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging various claims related to the sale at foreclosure of a residential rental prop erty in San Francisco, California, and a residential property in Woodland Hills, California. Aurora removed the case to federal court on November 6, 2009, invoking the court’s diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 . Thereafter, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. On May 24, 2010, Aurora filed a motion seeking to dismiss certain claims in the amended complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and a motion to strike plaintiffs punitive damages prayer under Rule 12(f). Plaintiff has opposed defendant’s motions.
Defendant’s motion is currently on calendar for hearing on September 13, 2010. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 7-15, the court finds the matter appropriate for decision without oral argument and vacates the hearing scheduled for September 13, 2010.
