Date Filed Document Text
December 16, 2022 Filing 40 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE HON. ALVIN K. HELLERSTEIN re: #31 Amended Complaint, filed by Maggie Wilkins, Abdiell Suero. For the reasons set forth above, I recommend, respectfully, that the Amended Complaint be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(h), for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or in the alternative, that it be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Objections to R&R due by 12/30/2022 (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 12/16/2022) (jca) (Main Document 40 replaced on 12/19/2022) (jca).
May 23, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 39 MEMO ENDORSEMENT denying #38 Motion for Leave to File Document. ENDORSEMENT: Application DENIED. "In ruling on a motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), the duty of a court is merely to assess the legal feasibility of the complaint, not to assay the weight of the evidence which might be offered in support thereof." DiFolco v. MSNBC Cable L.L.C., 622 F.3d 104, 113 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Consequently, extrinsic evidence - "highly probative" or not - cannot be considered on a motion made pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) without converting that motion into one for summary judgment, which the Court declines to do. See Marinoff v. City Coll. of New York, 63 F. App'x 530, 531 (2d Cir. 2003) ("When presented with a 12(b)(6) motion, the district court may not consider matters outside of the pleadings without converting the motion into a motion for summary judgment."); Friedl v. City of New York, 210 F.3d 79, 83-84 (2d Cir. 2000) (vacating decision of district court because it "relied on a matter outside of the pleadings"). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses on 5/23/2022) (rro)
