ATTORNEY QUESTIONNAIRES (Schwartz, Joshua) (Entered: 02/06/2024)
02/06/24
ORDER denying pre-motion conference request 20 : After having filed an answer 9, Defendant now seeks to file a Rule 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. In furtherance of its proposed motion, Defendant asks the court to consider two cease and desist letters, the interview summary for and amendment to Plaintiff's 11/599,055 patent application, and two sworn declarations. Though Plaintiff incorporated the June 2023 cease and desist letter by reference in its complaint (see Compl. ¶ 22), the Court finds no basis for considering the other documents cited by Defendant at the motion to dismiss stage. Therefore, even if, assuming arguendo, Defendant's request to file a Rule 12(b)(6) motion were timely, Defendant's stated basis for its anticipated motion to dismiss relies on evidence and documents outside the complaint. Such a motion would be converted to one for summary judgment. See Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc., 282 F.3d 147, 154 (2d Cir. 2002) ("Once the District Court was presented with matters outside the pleadings, Rule 12(b) afforded two options. The court could have excluded the extrinsic documents. Because it elected not to do so, however, the court was obligated to convert the motion to one for summary judgment and give the parties an opportunity to conduct appropriate discovery and submit the additional supporting material contemplated by Rule 56."). Therefore, the Court denies the request for a pre-motion conference 20 with leave to renew. Ordered by Judge Orelia E. Merchant on 2/6/2024. (MM) (Entered: 02/06/2024)

Second MOTION for pre motion conference filed by SI Pedestal, Corp. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit Plaintiff's Complaint and Exhibits, # 2 Exhibit Plaintiff's Cease and Desist Letters, # 3 Exhibit Plaintiff's Interview Summary and Amendment, # 4 Exhibit Defendant's Declarations) (Furlow, Harold) (Entered: 01/29/2024)

ORDER denying pre-motion conference request 19 : After having filed an answer 9, Defendant now seeks to file a Rule 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted based on extrinsic evidence, without affording Plaintiff the opportunity of discovery. See ECF 15, [15-1], [15-2], [15-3]. Even if, assuming arguendo, Defendant's request to file a Rule 12(b)(6) motion were timely, Defendant's stated basis for its anticipated motion to dismiss relies on evidence and documents outside the complaint, i.e. a series of photographs and declarations submitted as exhibits to the proposed motion to dismiss (ECF [15-2]). Such a motion would be converted to one for summary judgment. See Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc., 282 F.3d 147, 154 (2d Cir. 2002) ("Once the District Court was presented with matters outside the pleadings, Rule 12(b) afforded two options. The court could have excluded the extrinsic documents. Because it elected not to do so, however, the court was obligated to convert the motion to one for summary judgment and give the parties an opportunity to conduct appropriate discovery and submit the additional supporting material contemplated by Rule 56."). Therefore, the Court denies the request for a pre-motion conference 19 with leave to renew. Ordered by Judge Orelia E. Merchant on 1/24/2024. (MM) (Entered: 01/24/2024)
