October 19, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER. Defendant has filed a #13 motion for a more definite statement under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e). However, in light of the parties' Rule 26(f) Report, which appears to clarify the complaint and address the issues raised in defendant's motion (i.e., matching alleged conduct to claims, see ECF No. 14 at 2), the #13 motion for a more definite statement is hereby DENIED without prejudice. See 5C Arthur R. Miller et al., Motion for a More Definite Statement--Scope of Rule 12(e), Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. 1376 (3d ed. 2020) ("Rule 12(e) is limited to instances in which the challenged pleading 'is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably prepare a response.'... If the movant believes the opponent's pleading does not state a claim for relief, the proper course is a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) even if the pleading is vague or ambiguous."); see also Greater New York Auto. Dealers Ass'n v. Envtl. Sys. Testing, Inc., 211 F.R.D. 71, 77 (E.D.N.Y. 2002) ("A motion for a more definite statement should not be granted if the complaint contains a 'short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.' Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. When defendants have notice of the general nature of the claims against them, '[t]he preferred course is to encourage the use of discovery procedures to apprise the parties of the factual basis of the claims made in the pleadings,' rather than to require plaintiffs to more specifically plead their causes of action.").Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 10/19/2020. (Super, John)
