August 2, 2022 Filing 169 FOR COURT USE ONLY: STATISTICAL CORRECTION (Notice of Motion) #145 re: NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION to File Amicus Brief (rolm)
July 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 168 ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF SCHEDULING ORDER AND REQUEST TO OPEN DISCOVERY #129 by Judge Cormac J. Carney. On May 6, 2022, Plaintiff requested that the Court enter a scheduling order and that the Court order the parties to proceed to discovery. (Dkt. 129.) The Court DENIES that request. In a separate order, the Court ordered the MindGeek Defendants (individual and entity) to submit to jurisdictional discovery. (SEE DOCUMENT FOR FURTHER DETAILS.) (rolm)
July 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 167 ORDER DIRECTING THE MINDGEEK DEFENDANTS TO SUBMIT TO JURISDICTIONAL DISCOVERY UNTIL DECEMBER 30, 2022, GRANTING PLAINTIFF LEAVE TO AMEND HER COMPLAINT AFTER JURISDICTIONAL DISCOVERY IS COMPLETE, AND DENYING THE MINDGEEK DEFENDANTS MOTIONS TO DISMISS WITHOUT PREJUDICE #135 #136 #137 #139 #140 FOR THEM TO RENEW AFTER PLAINTIFF HAS FILED A SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT by Judge Cormac J. Carney. The Court ORDERS Plaintiff and the MindGeek Defendants to engage in jurisdictional discovery. The Court sets FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2022 as the close for jurisdictional discovery. The Court REFERS this matter to the Magistrate Judge for the jurisdictional discovery period. The Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the MindGeek Defendants motions to dismiss in light of the near certainty that Plaintiff will file a Second Amended Complaint at the close of jurisdictional discovery, which the Court GRANTS her leave to do. (SEE DOCUMENT FOR FURTHER DETAILS.) (rolm)
July 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 166 ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART VISAS MOTION TO DISMISS #138 , DEMANDING A MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO PLAINTIFFS CIVIL CONSPIRACY CLAIM, AND GRANTING THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR LAW & ECONOMICS MOTION TO FILE AN AMICUS BRIEF #145 by Judge Cormac J. Carney. For the foregoing reasons, Visas motion is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART WITH LEAVE TO AMEND. However, leave to amend is limited. The Court will not permit Plaintiff to amend her section 1591(a)(2) claim against Visa. Such amendment would be futile because Plaintiff simply has no basis for claiming Visa directly participated in the sex trafficking ventures that harmed her.16 Plaintiff shall withhold any amendment until the parties have completed jurisdictional discovery, which the Court has ordered in a companion order.
