Innospan Corp v. Intuit et al Doc. 77 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 INNOSPAN CORP., Plaintiff, v. INTUIT, INC., MINT SOFTWARE, INC., SHASTA VENTURES GP, LLC, and DOES 1­20, Defendants. / ORDER REGARDING REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION No. C 10-04422 WHA IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA United States District Court 11 For the Northern District of California 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Plaintiff submitted a request for clarification in regard to the order granting-in-part and denying-in-part the motions to dismiss on December 3, 2010. This order responds to that request. First, the reference to "counterclaims" in the conclusion of the order previously issued was inadvertent. No counterclaims exist in this action, and that order should read, "Innospan may file a motion seeking leave to amend their claims -- attaching the amended pleading thereto -- BY NOON ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010, explaining why the amended claims properly state claims for relief" (Dkt. 73) (emphasis added). Second, plaintiff does not need to file an amended complaint to re-allege the claims that were not dismissed, nor does plaintiff need to explain why claims that were not dismissed properly state claims for relief. Plaintiff need only address those claims that were dismissed when discussing why the amended claims properly state claims for relief. Third, plaintiff's claim for conversion was dismissed without leave to amend as a matter of law. Finally, in regard to adding new claims or defendants in an Dockets.Justia.com 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 amended complaint, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and local rules for this Court still apply. All parties are advised to read and follow those rules. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: December 6, 2010.
