ASSIGNMENT ON CALENDAR SPREADS

I was wondering if there is any possibility that an in-the-money short side of a put calendar would not get assigned on expiry. Or is the short side always assigned automatically?

The calendar spread is a strategy we use a lot, and understanding when assignment can occur is an important part of this trade. First, let’s review the strategy. To create a calendar spread, the strategist buys a longer-term option and sells a shorter-term option. Both options have the same strike price. The trade can be created with either puts or calls. Puts can be used when the strategist has a downward or bearish view on the underlying asset. Calls make sense when the strategist is bullish on the underlying security.
