September 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER - Defendant, Freedom Mortgage Corporation, has filed a #2 Motion to Dismiss. 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. The practice is especially appropriate in a case like this one where the moving party seeks to apply federal pleading standards to a state court petition. If Freedom Mortgage Corporation's motion to dismiss is denied, the court will therefore not allow it to file a motion for summary judgment. If Freedom Mortgage Corporation 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 Freedom Mortgage Corporation inform the court of its decision by September 22, 2023. (Signed by Judge Sim Lake) Parties notified. (SheilaRAnderson, 4)
