(Docket No. 142)
SONOMA COUNTY,
Defendant.
________________________________/
In May 2013, after this case was remanded from the Ninth
Circuit, Plaintiff Sonoma County Association of Retired Employees
(SCARE)filed its Second Amended Complaint (2AC) asserting that
Defendant Sonoma County's new cap on healthcare benefit
contributions to retirees constituted a breach of the County’s
longstanding agreement to pay for its retirees’ healthcare
benefits costs in perpetuity.
The County filed a motion to
dismiss for failure to state a claim and lack of subject matter
jurisdiction.
On January 10, 2014, the Court granted the motion
in part, dismissing the 2AC with respect to non-union retirees and
those hired before 1990.
Docket No. 96.
In addition, the Court
precluded Plaintiff from proceeding on any claims based on the
1985 "tie agreement," reasoning that SCARE had failed to identify
a specific ordinance or resolution creating that contract.
Id.
Plaintiff now requests leave to file motion for reconsideration,
noting that the distinction between pre- and post- 1990 hires was
not addressed in Defendant's motion to dismiss SCARE's 2AC or
