UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HANSON CRAWFORD CRUM FAMILY 

LAW GROUP, LLP,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY G. RANDALL,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-03371-VC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

DISMISS AND MOTION FOR A MORE 

DEFINITE STATEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 3

Randall's motion to dismiss is denied. Hanson Crawford Crum Family Law Group has 

alleged facts sufficient to state a claim for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and account 

stated. Although Randall may be correct that a plaintiff must attach the relevant contract to a 

complaint for breach of contract in state court, this requirement does not exist in federal court, so 

long as the allegations in the complaint are themselves sufficient (which they are). See 

Securimetrics, Inc. v. Hartford Casualty Ins. Co., No. 05-00917, 2005 WL 1712008, *2 (N.D. 

Cal. Jul. 21, 2005). Randall's motion for a more definite statement is also denied. Hanson 

Crawford Crum's complaint is not "vague or ambiguous" such that Randall "cannot reasonably 

prepare a response." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e).

The hearing set for August 23, 2018 is vacated. Randall must file an answer within 14 

days of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 20, 2018
