ORDER
William Newell, et al.,
12
Defendants.
13
On November 15, 2013, the Court granted a motion to dismiss for lack of
14
jurisdiction filed by Defendant Emory Hurley (Doc. 52) and a motion to dismiss for lack
15
of jurisdiction filed by Defendants William Newell, George Gillett, David Voth, Hope
16
McAllister, Tonya English, and William McMahon (Doc. 53). Doc. 68. In light of
17
Janicki Logging Co. v. Mateer, 42 F.3d 561 (9th Cir. 1994), the Court concludes that the
18
case should not have been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The Court’s conclusions
19
regarding the lack of a viable Bivens claim were correct, and the claim was properly
20
dismissed, but it should have been dismissed for failure to state a claim. See id. at 563
21
(finding that the inability to state a cause of action under Bivens does not deprive a
22
district court of jurisdiction).
23
remaining state and federal claims and cross-claims asserted by the parties.
24
The Court will therefore retain jurisdiction over the
IT IS ORDERED that the Court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss
25
(Doc. 68) shall be amended as set forth above.
