IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 09-cv-01832-REB-MEH GIOVANNI LARATTA, Plaintiff, v. MICK MCCORMAC, Defendants. MINUTE ORDER Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on January 25, 2010. Plaintiff's Motion for a More Definite Statement [filed January 22, 2010; docket #25] is denied. A motion to dismiss is not a "pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed" under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a) (2009). However, even assuming such motion is considered a "pleading" under Rule 12(e), Plaintiff fails to demonstrate that the motion is "so vague or ambiguous" that he cannot reasonably prepare a response.
