On May 29, 2007, Plaintiffs commenced an action in this Court against the City of

San Luis, Rafael Torres, and various Rural/Metro entities (Case No. CV-07-1071-PHXDGC) (“First Action”). Nearly a year later, on May 19, 2008, Plaintiff filed another action

in this Court against the defendants named in the First Action and three other defendants

(Case No. CV-08-0945-PHX-ROS) (“Second Action”). The actions have been consolidated.

Dkt. #22 (CV-08-0945); Dkt. #89 (CV-07-1071).

In an order dated November 15, 2007, the Court dismissed all claims asserted against

Rural/Metro in the First Action based on Noerr-Pennington immunity. Dkt. #45 (CV-07-

1071). Rural Metro has filed a motion to dismiss the Second Action as an impermissible

attack on the Court’s order of dismissal in the First Action. Dkt. #25 (CV-08-0945).

Plaintiffs have not filed a response to the motion, and the time for doing so has expired. See

LRCiv 7.2(c).

The Court already has dismissed the Second Action as impermissibly duplicative of

the First Action. Dkt. #23 (CV-08-0945); Dkt. #90 (CV-07-1071). The Court therefore will

deny Rural/Metro’s motion to dismiss the Second Action as moot.

IT IS ORDERED that the Rural/Metro Defendants’ motion to dismiss complaint in

CV-08-0945 (Dkt. #25) is denied as moot.

DATED this 9th day of September, 2008.
