TENTATIVE RULINGS: PLAINTIFF AND CROSS-DEFENDANT CLAYTON BRUCE SMITH'S

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS AS TO DEFENDANT THOMAS KNIGHTLY'S CROSS-COMPLAINT is GRANTED.

Failure to file an opposition to the motion indicates Defendant THOMAS KNIGHTLY's ('Defendant') acquiescence that the motion is meritorious. (L.R. 2.1.19(B) ['The court may deem a lack of opposition to be a concession that a motion is meritorious']; See California Rules of Court, Rule 8.54(c).) Defendant does not dispute that Plaintiff CLAYTON BRUCE SMITH ('Plaintiff') has demonstrated that the remaining allegations purportedly supporting the abuse of process cause of action are insufficient. The motion is granted.
