For the reasons previously stated and as further supported herein, Plaintiff is entitled to an order dismissing this action as a matter of right.

The first two sections of Defendants’ Response only restate portions of the Mo-tion to Dismiss and of K.S.A. 60-241(a)(2), and require no reply. 2. In paragraph 3 the Defendants claim they will be “substantially prejudiced” by a grant of the Motion to Dismiss unless the Court takes affirmative action on motions the Defend-ants have not yet filed.

Granting Plaintiffs’ Motion to Dismiss will additionally avoid further litigation regarding the issue of payment of the cost of rendering the discovery records into a form capable of being produced, and either avoid the Defendants’ having to make payment of such cost in or-der for the records to be produced, or avoid Plaintiff sustaining such costs. The General Rule Allows Voluntary Dismissals as a Matter of Course Under the rule stated in the leading case of Gideon v. Bo-Mar Homes, Inc., 205 Kan. 321, 326 (1970), it is a traditional principle that dismissals are to be allowed. A court is required to consider the rights of the parties and how they will be affected, and what benefits or injuries may result to the respective sides in the controversy if a dismissal is granted; but, where only the equi-ties of the defendant are considered, and the facts and authorities they cite show they would suf-fer no plain “legal prejudice,” a denial of the dismissal resulted the plaintiff being “deprived of valuable rights” which outweighed whatever minor prejudices the defendant might have in-curred, if any.

App. 2d 905, Syl. ¶ 2, (2010), in which the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s decision granting the motion to dismiss with prejudice, the Court acknowledged Gideon’s general rule, and stated that a voluntary dismissal is “more of a right of the

Pursuant to Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 927, Defendant, Lauris Hollis (“Defendant”), through undersigned counsel, moves this Court to dismiss the Plaintiff’s action. Article 927 provides that the Peremptory exception of no cause of action and no right of action or no interest in the plaintiff to institute suit. Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 923 provides that the function of the peremptory exception is to have the plaintiff’s action declared legally nonexistent, or barred by effect of law, and hence the exception tends to dismiss or defeat the action.

Accordingly, no claim has been stated and this Court should dismiss the complaint or enter summary judgment in favor of the
The second part of the brief is the facts of the case. This is the summary or background that led to this particular dispute. It resembles a journalist’s report offering only the basic “who, what, where, when, how and why” of the trial and case record leading up to the present appeal. Included in this is a brief statement of the plaintiff’s argument and the defendant’s argument.
In order to prevail on a motion for summary judgment, a movant has the burden to demonstrate that no genuine issue of material fact remains to be litigated; that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and that it appears from the evidence, when viewed most strongly in favor
The court in this case examined two elements to find out whether the motion to dismiss should be granted or not. First, whether the law of state which asserts that "every foreign corporation shall be subject to suit in the state by a resident of this state or by a person having a usual place of business in this state... or foreign commerce, on any cause of action arising as follows ... 2- out of any business solicited in this state by mail or otherwise if the corporation has repeatedly solicited business.." includes the defendant. Secondly, the court must consider whether the constitutional due process was violated or not when applying the law of state . The plaintiff claimed that the defendant has solicited business in East Carolina by
All of the Department’s exhibits C-1 through C-6 were entered into the hearing record with objection from the Appellant. The Appellant objected to the fact that she did not know what any of the exhibits were so she did not want them entered into the hearing record. At the administrative hearing the ALJ advised that a decision
Defendant’s arguments for dismissal, however, must fail even under the substantial compliance doctrine that he wishes the Court to apply. Here, unlike the prisoner in Mourey, it cannot in good conscience be said that Defendant

§ 101. However, since the Supreme Court’s Alice decision on June 19, 2014, through May 31, 2016, district courts have issued 97 decisions on these types of motions. This is nearly a 400% increase in the total number of motions to dismiss filed since Alice. By a mere glance of the statistical data, one can see the rising number of motions to dismiss based on invalidation of claims directed to patent-ineligible concepts is the direct result of the Supreme Court’s Alice decision in mid-2014. In addition to the fact that the two and a half years prior to Alice, district courts decided only 20 decisions on these motions, the total number of these motions experienced a downward trend each year prior to Alice. In 2013, district courts saw a decrease of 30% in the total number of these motions filed compared to 2012. Similarly, in the first half of 2014, district courts saw a decrease in the total number of these motions filed compared to
dismissed with prejudice during that last hearing, without any extra trial or fees, if Charter agrees. Charter’s lawyer said to submit to Charter a request for dismissal with prejudice.

Because the government refused to stipulate to Defendant’s proposed Rule 15(c) motion, and because I wanted to limit the filing of additional motions as much as possible to preserve the clarity of the proceedings and to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources, I determined it was best to utilize the reply provision of Rule 5(d) and the USA’s stipulation to exceed the page limitation, to prepare and file a comprehensive brief which both responded to the government’s motion to enforce the collateral attack waiver and replied to its arguments regarding Defendant’s 2255 Motion. This allowed Defendant to present any additional legal arguments that could have been submitted in a Rule 15(c) motion to supplement the pleadings and limited
A dismissal motion is often filed in the initial stages of the litigation, prior to when the parties have carried out the discovery process. The material displayed through the complaint and any complaint exhibits are the motion's central focus, which is brought forward when the defendant has a conviction that the complaint isn't legally valid. When deciding a dismissal motion's validity, the court must examine the facts brought forth in the complaint in a light that is most beneficial to the plaintiff.
