CASE NO.: 13-cv-01944-CAB-BLM
California, before the Honorable Cathy Ann Bencivengo, located at 221 West
Broadway, San Diego, California 92101, defendants (1) William Hargreaves,
(2) Hargreaves & Taylor LLP (erroneously sued as Hargraeves & Taylor, PC);
(3) Meredith Levin; (4) Law Offices of Allen-Slattery, Inc.; (5) Janis Stocks; (6) Stocks
& Colburn (erroneously sued as Stocks & Colburn, a professional corporation); (7)
Laury Baldwin; (8) Carole Baldwin; and (9) Baldwin & Baldwin (collectively referred
to herein as the Lawyer Defendants), by and through their undersigned counsel, will
and hereby do move the Court, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2),
9(b), 12(b)(6), and 41(b) for an order dismissing Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint
10
(FAC) against the Lawyer Defendants, with prejudice, on the following grounds:
11
Plaintiffs FAC fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, under Fed.
12
R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), because plaintiffs claims do not state facts sufficient to state a
13
claim for relief against the Lawyer Defendants. Moreover, plaintiffs claims against the
14
Lawyer Defendants are time barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. Plaintiffs
15
FAC also fails to plead certain matters with particularity, as required by Fed. R. Civ. P.
16
9(b). Further, plaintiffs FAC fails to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2), which
17
requires a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to
18
relief. Further, plaintiffs failed to comply with the Courts order dated December 23,
19
2013, and therefore, the FAC should be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.41(b). For
20
these reasons, the Lawyer Defendants move the Court to dismiss all claims alleged in
21
the FAC against the Lawyer Defendants.
22
Plaintiffs entire FAC should be dismissed with prejudice as to the Lawyer
23
Defendants, including each of the claims and counts which purport to name such
24
defendants as follows:
