Date Filed Document Text
February 21, 2020 Filing 27 SURREPLY to re #24 Reply to opposition to Motion, filed by MICHAEL D.J. EISENBERG. (Eisenberg, Michael)
February 10, 2020 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER granting #25 Motion for Leave to File. Petitioner's motion for leave to file a surreply does not identify the new case law or new issues that the respondents "appear to raise" in their reply to his motion to dismiss. However, notwithstanding respondents' objections, plaintiff may respond to any legal issues raised in the reply that were not raised in the initial motion to dismiss - and only those issues - in a surreply that does not exceed five pages, and that does not repeat arguments already included in plaintiff's opposition, by February 21, 2020. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/10/2020. (lcabj3)
February 10, 2020 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER denying #26 Motion for Hearing. The Court has the matter under review and will schedule a hearing if and when it deems it necessary.

January 31, 2020 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER. Defendants' pending #14 motion to dismiss is predicated largely on Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and the Court's lack of jurisdiction to hear the dispute at all based on abstention principles as well as immunity grounds. Accordingly, the Court believes that it is prudent to defer further briefing and consideration of plaintiff's #22 motion for leave to amend his complaint a second time until after it determines whether it has jurisdiction to hear the case. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 1/31/2020. (lcabj3)
