June 21, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 36 ORDER denying as moot #24 Defendant J.W. Cole Financial Services' Motion for More Definite Statement. On June 20, 2024, plaintiff filed a "Voluntary More Particular Statement From Plaintiff Directed to Defendant J.W. Cole in Particular and all Others Merely as Help." This document grants J.W. Cole the exact relief sought in its motion, i.e. a more definite statement, thereby making the motion moot. The court recognizes that JW Cole contends plaintiff's supplemental statement does not correct the deficiencies in plaintiff's complaint, and it is certainly JW Cole's prerogative to take further action to address that concern, be it in a motion to dismiss or otherwise. Signed by Magistrate Judge Angel D. Mitchell on 6/21/2024. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (alh)
