UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

G & G CLOSED CIRCUIT EVENTS, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLAUDIA RAMIREZ and AQUILES

RAMIREZ, individually and doing business as

CAZADORES GRILL, 

DefendantS.

 /

CASE NO. 1:12-cv-00185-AWI-SMS

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO STRIKE AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

OF DEFENDANT CLAUDIA RAMIREZ

(Doc. 16) 

Plaintiff G & G Closed Circuit Events, LLC, by its attorney Thomas P. Riley, petitions

this Court to strike the affirmative defenses of Defendant Claudia Ramirez for failure to satisfy

the pleading standards set forth in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 n. 3 (2007). 

Plaintiff contends that Ms. Ramirez’s answer fails to set forth facts supporting her affirmative

defenses, thereby rendering them “boilerplate legal conclusions.”

Having reviewed Plaintiff’s motion, applicable law, and the record as a whole, the Court

disagrees. Although Ms. Ramirez’s answer and cross-claim against Defendant Aquiles Ramirez

is not a masterpiece of legal drafting, the factual background set forth therein (Doc. 17, ¶¶ 47-56)

alleges facts sufficient to support her affirmative defenses.

Accordingly, PLAINTIFF’s motion to strike is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2013 /s/ Sandra M. Snyder
