ORDER denying as premature 41 Motion to Dismiss counterclaim. Signed by Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon. (cbn)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
EARL E. OWENS AND
JOSEPH WAYNE ESPAT
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
NO: 13-4782
THE WESTERN & SOUTHERN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY AND
THE WESTERN & SOUTHERN LIFE
INSURANCE LONG TERM
INCENTIVE AND RETENTION PLAN
SECTION: "S" (4)
ORDER AND REASONS
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the Plaintiffs' Motion to Dismiss Defendants' Counterclaim
(Doc. #41) is DENIED as premature.
On August 27, 2014, defendants, The Western & Southern Life Insurance Company and The
Western & Southern Life Insurance Long Term Incentive and Retention Plan, filed a Motion for
Leave to file a Counterclaim (Doc. #39). That motion is set for hearing before the United States
Magistrate Judge on October 15, 2014. Because the defendants have not yet been granted leave to
file the proposed counterclaim, there is no counterclaim to potentially dismiss on plaintiffs' motion.
Plaintiffs' motion is more properly construed as an opposition to defendants' motion for leave to file
their proposed counterclaim, and is forwarded to the United States Magistrate Judge for
consideration.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 29th day of September, 2014.
