CIVIL ACTION

Versus

NO. 11-1169

JESSE L. WIMBERLY, III, ET AL.

SECTION: “F”

ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court are requests for oral argument on: (a) Jesse
Wimberly’s motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
12(b)(6) and special motion to strike, and (b) Hector Lopez’s
motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).
The requests are DENIED for the following reasons.
It is the Court’s policy to grant oral argument on motions if
one of the following factors is present:
1.

There is a need for an evidentiary hearing.

2.

The motion or opposition papers involve a novel or
complex issue of law that is unsettled.

3.

The motion or opposition papers argue for a change in
existing law.

4.

The motion or opposition papers implicate a
constitutional issue.

5.

The case itself is of widespread community interest.

Because no motion involves any of the above factors,
IT IS ORDERED:

that the requests for oral argument on the

1

defendants’ motions are DENIED.

New Orleans, Louisiana, November 7, 2011.
