September 14, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ORDER denying #13 Motion to Consolidate Cases. Denied. Consolidation is not appropriate at this stage. Counsel and the Court easily can coordinate discovery to avoid inefficiency. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 9/14/2018) (ne)
September 14, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER denying #15 Motion to Dismiss The motion to dismiss is denied. Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on July 28, 2018, alleging that it discovered wrongful conduct by Defendant Weitz & Luxenberg on October 2015 when plaintiff discovered that its claims against Bristol-Myers Squibb had been dismissed with prejudice on August 31, 2000. However, there are issues of fact, inappropriate to decide on a 12(b) motion to dismiss, for example, the status and agency of Weitz & Luxemburg, the circumstances leading to the tolling agreement, etc. Hence, the motion is denied. Whether it might be appropriate after Answer as a 12(c) motion can be decided at that time. (HEREBY ORDERED by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein)(Text Only Order) (Hellerstein, Alvin)
