ESTHER SALAS, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court by way of Plaintiff Ally Financial Inc.'s ("Plaintiff" or "Ally") Motion for Summary Judgment against pro se Defendant Dana Pristavec ("Defendant" or "Ms. Pristavec").
Whereas the Court has carefully considered Plaintiff's moving papers, Defendant's opposition papers, Plaintiff's reply papers as well as Plaintiff's arguments made at oral argument; and it appearing that:
1. On June 1, 2012, Ally initiated the above-captioned action against Defendants Hackensack Chevrolet, LLC ("Hackensack Chevrolet"), Vincent Sirabella ("Sirabella"), Joseph Bulna, Mohammed Ali and Ms. Pristavec, relating to Ally's financing of numerous vehicles. (See D.E. No. 1, Complaint ¶¶ 1-2).
2. On June 18, 2012, the instant action was administratively terminated pending the outcome of bankruptcy proceedings involving all Defendants. (D.E. No. 20).
3. On August 27, 2012, the instant action was reinstated with respect to Defendants Sirabella and Ms. Pristavec. (D.E. No. 23).
4. On September 27, 2013, Ally moved for summary judgment on all claims against Ms. Pristavec and for a judgment in the amount of $1,500,512.10, inclusive of principal payments in the amount of $945,564.53, interest/insurance of $121,379.07, attorney fees of $419,587.71 and disbursements of $13,980.79.
5. Pursuant to L. Civ. R. 56.1(a), Ally submitted a statement of material facts not in dispute with its motion for summary judgment. (See D.E. No. 61-3, ("SUMF")). In sum, Ally's SUMF provides, inter alia, that:
6. On February 7, 2014, Ms. Pristavec filed an Opposition to Plaintiff's summary judgment motion. (See D.E. No. 67, Dana Pristavec's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment ("Pristavec Opp.")).
7. In her Opposition, Ms. Pristavec argued—as the sole reason why summary judgment should not be entered against her—that on or about April 26, 2012, she sold her membership interest in Hackensack Chevrolet LLC to defendants Vincent J. Sirabella and Wanda Diaferia. (Pristavec Opp. at 1-2). Ms. Pristavec averred that she emailed Ally on May 16, 2012, informing Ally of the aforementioned sale and requesting that Ally e-mail her "my guarantee paper work [I] will no longer be responsible for any business transactions of the dealership as of April 21, 2012." (Pristavec Opp. at 1, 15).
8. Ms. Pristavec did not submit a Counter Statement of Undisputed Material Facts with her Opposition papers, as required by L. Civ. R. 56.1(a). Ms. Pristavec also did not object elsewhere in her opposition submissions to any of Ally's statements of undisputed facts.
9. The Court finds that Ally has met its burden on summary judgment by presenting evidence that the terms of the Guaranty signed by Ms. Pristavec are such that the Guaranty was to remain effective until forty eight (48) hours after receipt by Ally of written notice of Ms. Pristavec's intention to terminated the Guaranty, with the guarantor remaining liable for all obligations incurred by Hackensack Chevrolet prior to the effective date of such notice. (See D.E. No. 61-1, Exhibit 5 (Ms. Pristavec's Guaranty)).
10. Ally represented during oral argument that, for purposes of the instant motion, Plaintiff does not object to the finding that Ms. Pristavec's May 16, 2012 e-mail constituted adequate notice of her intention to terminate her Guaranty.
11. Ally presented competent evidence—evidence that Ms. Pristavec has not objected to or otherwise controverted—that, as of May 18, 2012 (the effective date of Ms. Pristavec's notice of termination of the Guaranty), Hackensack Chevrolet was liable to Ally for principle payments in the amount of $817,723.20, interest in the amount of $110,969.81, late fees of $3,692.78 and dealer finance income in the amount of $20,235.09 for a total amount due of $958,777.94.
12. The Court finds that, pursuant to Fed. Rule Civ. P. 56(e)(2) and L. Civ. R. 56.1(a), the material facts proffered by Ally are undisputed for the purposes of the instant motion.
13. The Court finds that Ms. Pristavec's sale of her membership interest in Hackensack Chevrolet LLC did not, as a matter of law, constitute notice of her intention to terminate the Guaranty. Instead, the Guaranty could only be terminated in the manner prescribed therein, as described above. See Mount Holly State Bank v. Mount Holly Wash. Hotel, Inc., 532 A.2d 1125, 1128 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 1987) (holding that the lender was entitled to judgment against guarantor because guarantor's sale of ownership interest in hotel did not terminate personal guarantee).
14. The Court finds, as a matter of law, that Ms. Pristavec's e-mail to Plaintiff dated May 16, 2012, provided the requisite written notice of her intention to terminate the Guaranty.
15. The Court finds that there is no genuine issue of material fact in dispute regarding Ms. Pristavec's liability to Ally pursuant to the Guaranty she executed on March 1, 2010, for the debts incurred by Hackensack Chevrolet up to and including May 18, 2012. Ally is, therefore, entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
Accordingly, IT IS on this 11th day of August 2014,
