ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS
Defendant Monsanto Company (“Defendant”) moves to dismiss
Plaintiff Aaron Johnson’s February 19, 2016 Complaint. Doc. No. 13. The legal
issues raised in Defendant’s Motion are substantively identical to those Defendant
raised in Sheppard v. Monsanto Co., Civ. No. 16-00043 JMS-RLP (D. Haw. Feb.
24, 2016). Thus, because the factual differences in the cases have no bearing on
the court’s rulings, the Motion is DENIED for the same reasons as in the court’s
June 29, 2016 Order Denying Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss in Sheppard.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, June 29, 2016.
