June 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER - Defendant, Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital, has filed a #3 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim. The motion seeks dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). The court's normal practice is to allow only one dispositive motion per party, and the court sees no reason to make an exception in this case. This practice is especially appropriate in a case like this where the moving party seeks to apply federal pleading standards to a state court petition. If Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital's motion to dismiss is denied, the court will therefore not allow it to file a motion for summary judgment. If Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital wishes to withdraw the motion to dismiss, the court will enter a docket control order that includes a date for motions for summary judgment. The court requests that Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital inform the court of its decision by June 30, 2023. (Signed by Judge Sim Lake) Parties notified.(sanderson, 4)
