MEMORANDUM OPINION and ORDER granting in part denying in part 12 MOTION to Dismiss; granting 17 MOTION to Amend the Motion to Dismiss; as stated within SouthernPointe moved to amend its motion to seek dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6), 17 , That motion is GRANTED; As further stated within, Acadia's request for a declaration that it has no duty to indemnify SoutherPointe is insufficiently ripe for adjudication, and, as to the duty to indemnify claim, SouthernPointe's motion to dismiss is GRANTED and that claim is dismissed without prejudice; Based on the allegations in the underlying lawsuit, Acadia's complaint asserts at least on alternative ground for finding that the policy does not require it to defend SouthernPoi nte in the underlying proceedings, and SouthernPointe has not provided any basis for rejecting that ground at this stage; Therefore, because the language of the policy plausibly supports Acadia's position that it is not required to defend SouthernPointe against the underlying plaintiff's lawsuit, as to the duty to defend claim, SouthernPointe's motion to dismiss, 12 , is DENIED. Signed by Judge Abdul K Kallon on 11/29/2017. (KBB)
