In light of the fact that [76] plaintiff's notice of supplemental authority was filed less than 48 hours before the motions hearing, includes numerous opinions that were issued well before the plaintiffs filed their oppositions to the motions to dismiss, and offers the Court no guidance as to how the authority is relevant to the issues in this case, the Court, sua sponte, STRIKES [76] plaintiff's notice of supplemental authority. At the June 23, 3011 motions hearing, the Court will address the need, if any, for supplemental briefing. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on June 21, 2011. (lcegs4)

Order |
| Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER. The Court is aware that the parties may wish to file notices of supplemental authority with regard to defendants' motions to dismiss. The parties may file notices of supplemental authority subject to the following limitations. First, consistent with counsel's continuing obligations as officers of the Court, the parties may alert the Court to new authority, decided after completion of the original briefing, that could impact the parties' arguments and the Court's consideration and resolution of this motion. Second, the parties may alert the Court to authority dated prior to the original briefing if and only if the filing party has a good faith belief that such authority is DISPOSITIVE of its arguments. It is therefore ORDERED that the parties may file supplemental briefs of no more than seven pages apprising the Court of any such relevant authority and briefly explaining its significance to this case by no later than July 1, 2011. In the event any party apprises the Court of supplemental authority dating from before the original briefing was completed, the party shall explain why it failed to include such authority in its initial briefing to the Court.

Order |
| Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER. On August 3, 2012, the Court scheduled a Rule 16 conference, to discuss the parties' discovery plans in this matter, for October 10, 2012. Subsequently, the defendants filed a [105] Motion for Certification of Interlocutory Appeal or in the Alternative for Reconsideration of this Court's July 2012 Opinion. Because disposition of the motion may impact discovery in this matter, the Court will resolve the motion before addressing the parties' discovery plans. Accordingly, the Rule 16 conference scheduled for October 10, 2012 is hereby cancelled, and the Court, sua sponte, schedules a hearing on defendants' Motion for Certification or in the Alternative for Reconsideration for October 31, 2012 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 24A.

Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief |
| Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER. Pending before the Court is [135] ASPCA's motion to be removed from the case caption in this matter going forward, in light of its settlement with FEI and dismissal, with prejudice, from this action. The only party to oppose ASPCA's motion is AWI, which will be the new "first named" party in the caption once ASPCA's name is removed. Unlike ASPCA, which cites authority for the proposition that courts do remove settling or otherwise dismissed parties from a case caption when litigation will be ongoing against other parties, AWI cites no authority in support of its argument that the Court should not perform the purely ministerial task of deleting ASPCA's name from the caption. Moreover, AWI cites no authority for its alternative proposition that the caption of the case should be changed entirely, to "In re: ESA Litigation." Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in ASPCA's Motion to Remove Its Name from the Case Caption in Light of the Dismissal of All Claims Against It, ASPCA's motion is GRANTED. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on March 25, 2013. (lcegs4)

Order |
| Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER. Pending before the Court is [115] plaintiff Feld Entertainment, Inc.'s ("FEI") motion to strike affirmative defenses. Upon consideration, plaintiff's motion to strike is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. "Striking pleadings is generally disfavored as an extreme remedy" which should only be granted when it is clear that removal "would avoid wasting unnecessary time and money litigating the invalid defense." Intex Rec. Corp. v. Team Worldwide Corp., 390 F. Supp. 2d 21, 24 (D.D.C. 2005) (citations omitted)). A motion to strike is also "appropriate when there are no circumstances under which a defense could succeed." Id. (citation omitted). FEI's motion to strike the defenses of contributory negligence/assumption of the risk, lack of privity, and due process violations as to any/all defendants asserting them shall be granted. Contributory negligence/assumption of the risk "is a defense only to negligent, not reckless or intentional, conduct." Gates v. Dist. of Columbia, 825 F. Supp. 2d 168, 172 (D.D.C. 2011). FEI has not alleged any claims for negligence; all of its claims are based on the defendants' allegedly intentional conduct. Meyer, Glitzenstein & Crystal's ("MGC") and Tom Rider's affirmative defense of lack of privity shall also be stricken. Defendants concede that this defense is only available as against FEI's maintenance claim, but FEI does not assert a maintenance claim against Rider or MGC. Opp'n to Motion to Strike at 11-12; Reply in Support of Mot. to Strike at 11. In addition, Animal Welfare Institute's, Jonathan Lovvorn's and Kimberly Ockene's affirmative defense of denial of due process shall be stricken. The protections of the due process clause apply to governmental action, which is not present in this case. Finally, the Court notes that defendants have withdrawn the D.C. Anti-SLAPP act as an affirmative defense. See Opp'n to Mot. to Strike at 1, 15. The remaining defenses FEI seeks to strike are reasonable/good faith conduct, compliance with the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct, conduct taken by others outside defendants' control, unclean hands, in pari delecto, laches, estoppel and waiver. These defenses are essentially denials of plaintiff's allegations that the defendants proximately caused its injuries; however, the burden of proof remains on FEI to prove causation in order to prevail in the litigation. Accordingly, because causation will be central to the litigation of this action regardless of the presence of these affirmative defenses, the Court declines to exercise its "liberal discretion" to strike them at this time. Intex Rec. Corp., 390 F. Supp. 2d at 24 (citations omitted). SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on April 23, 2013. (lcegs4)

Order |
| Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER. Pending before the Court is [113] Feld Entertainment, Inc.'s ("FEI") motion to dismiss or stay Meyer, Glitzenstein & Crystal's ("MGC") counterclaim for abuse of process. Upon consideration, the motion is DENIED. Abuse of process occurs when "process has been used to accomplish some end which is without the regular purview of the process, or which compels the party against whom it is used to do some collateral thing which he could not legally and regularly be required to do." Morowitz v. Marvel, 423 A.2d 196, 198 (D.C. 1980). To state a claim for abuse of process, a party must allege "(1) the existence of an ulterior motive; and (2) an act in the use of process other than such as would be proper in the regular prosecution of the charge." Houlahan v. World Wide Ass'n of Specialty Programs & Sch., 677 F. Supp 2d 195, 199 (D.D.C. 2010) (citations omitted). MGC alleges that FEI had several ulterior motives for prosecuting it in this action, including impairing the relationship between MGC and its animal protection clients, draining it of resources, and ultimately forcing it out of business. See [97] Answer of MGC, Counterclaim Count I, Abuse of Process 8. It further alleges that FEI improperly added it to this litigation as a party years after the litigation commenced, knowing it was time-barred. Id. 2-7. And it alleges that FEI is using this process, as it has done in other instances in the past, to engage in surveillance of animal rights activists, stifle criticism, and prevent advocacy directed at FEI's treatment of animals. Id. 13-14. At this stage of the proceedings, defendants have adequately alleged the elements of the cause of action. See Feld Entm't, Inc. v. ASPCA, 873 F. Supp. 2d 288, 330-31 (D.D.C. 2012). FEI's motion in the alternative to stay the counterclaim is likewise DENIED. As FEI points out, this case has already been pending for several years. Mot. to Dismiss or Stay Counterclaim at 21. There is no reason to guarantee further delay by preventing any possible discovery regarding the counterclaim from going forward for an indeterminate length of time. FEI shall respond to the Counterclaim by no later than May 3, 2013. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on April 23, 2013. (lcegs4)
