Filing 187 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE DEFENDANTS' MOTIONS TO STRIKE AND DISMISS AND DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR RULE 11 SANCTIONS by Judge Dolly M. Gee: The Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part as moot Moving Defendants' motion to strike and dismiss the First Amended Complaint ("FAC") #110 and DENIES Moving Defendants' motion for sanctions ("MFS") #113 . Moving Defendants' motion to strike and dismiss the FAC is GRANTED, with leave to amend, with respect to Plaintiffs' RICO and RICO conspiracy claims. Because the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claims for defamation and violation of the UCL, those claims are DISMISSED without prejudice, and the motion to strike them under California's anti-SLAPP law is DENIED as moot. The Court also DENIES Moving Defendants' Rule 11 Motion for Sanctions. Plaintiffs shall file their Second Amended Complaint by 9/22/2021, or file a notice informing the Court and Defendants that they do not intend to amend. Defendants shall file their response to the operative pleading within 21 days after the filing of the Second Amended Complaint or the notice of intent not to amend. Failure to timely file a Second Amended Complaint will result in the dismissal of this action, with prejudice. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) |
