UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER ALARCON,

Plaintiff,

vs.

VITAL RECOVERY SERVICES, INC., 

et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 15cv992-LAB (KSC)

ORDER ACCEPTING MOTION TO 

DISMISS FOR FILING; AND

ORDER EXTENDING BRIEFING 

DEADLINES

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative for summary judgment. 

(Docket no. 22.) On July 19, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss, without 

addressing summary judgment. The Court’s order explained that the Court was required to 

address jurisdiction first. Because jurisdictional facts had not been adequately pled, the 

Court dismissed the complaint, directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint, and then set 

dates for the filing of an “updated motion to dismiss.” (Docket no. 30 at 2:8–11.) The order 

said the motion would be decided on the papers. (Id.)

After Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, Defendants, relying on the Court’s 

previous order, electronically filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint, or 

alternatively for summary judgment. By discrepancy order, the Court mistakenly rejected

that for filing. The Clerk is directed to file the motion that the Court previously rejected. 

(Docket no. 34-1.) 

Plaintiff may file an opposition to this motion by September 7. If Defendants wish to 

file a reply, they may do so by September 14. After this briefing is filed, the Court will set a 

hearing if appropriate, but otherwise the matter will be decided on the papers. The parties’ 

briefing should include all arguments and evidence they wish the Court to consider, bearing 

in mind that the Court may decide the matter on the papers without oral argument or a 

hearing. See Civil Local Rule 7.1(d)(1). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 21, 2018
