UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL
CONTRACTING CORPORATION,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 16-cv-13168
v.
HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH
SOFIR ITALIA S.R.L., et al.,
Defendants.
______________________________/
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS SOFIR ITALIA S.R.L., ALVARO FREGOLENT,
AND MARCO FERGANI’S MOTION TO DISMISS (Dkt. 13) WITHOUT PREJUDICE,
GRANTING DEFENDANT SOFIR N.A. CO.’S MOTION TO DISMISS (Dkt. 2), AND
DISMISSING DEFENDANT SOFIR N.A. CO. WITHOUT PREJUDICE
In accordance with this Court’s order (Dkt. 14), Plaintiff timely filed an amended
complaint (Dkt. 16). Therefore, the Court denies Defendants Sofir Italia s.r.l., Alvaro Fregolent,
and Marco Vergani’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. 13) without prejudice.
Defendant Sofir N.A. Co. had also filed a motion to dismiss (Dkt. 2), which the Court
grants. Plaintiff agreed to the dismissal, but asked that it be without prejudice. Sofir N.A. Co.
argued that the dismissal should be with prejudice. Based on the allegations in the original
complaint (Dkt. 1), the Court is unable to determine that no cause of action could be asserted
against Sofir N.A. Co. Because Plaintiff is content to call a cease-fire at this time, the better
course is to dismiss the claims against Sofir N.A. Co. without prejudice and leave to another day,
if that day should arrive, whether claims can be asserted and whether costs should be assessed
against Plaintiff for renewing the claims if it decides to do so. Therefore, the dismissal of Sofir
N.A. Co. is without prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
