Case No. C 05-03007 JF 

ORDER REGARDING THIRD PARTY PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO DISMISS

(JFEX1)

Thomas Natoli (“Natoli”), XYZ Corps. 1-10, and Does 1-10. On December 21, 2005,

Defendants Stateco and Natoli filed a counterclaim and a third party complaint against Mutual

Indemnity Ltd. (“MI”), Mutual Indemnity (Bermuda) Ltd. (“MI Bermuda”), Mutual Indemnity

(Barbados) Ltd. (“MI Barbados”), Mutual Indemnity (US) Ltd. (“MI US”), Mutual Indemnity

(Dublin) Ltd. (“MI Dublin”) and Mutual Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd. (“MH Bermuda”).

(collectively “Mutual Defendants”), XYZ Corporations 1 -10, and Does 1 - 10. Mutual

Defendants move to dismiss the third party complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 12(b)(3) and, in the alternative, Rule 12 (b)(2). 

On June 22, 2006, this Court heard oral argument on the instant motion. During oral

argument, Stateco’s counsel requested leave to amend its third party complaint. Counsel for

Mutual Defendants did not object. Accordingly, Stateco shall have leave to file an amended third

party complaint, which shall be filed within twenty (20) days of the date of this Order. In light of

Stateco’s anticipated amended complaint, the instant motion to dismiss is moot. The Court will

take the instant motion to dismiss off of the calendar without prejudice to a renewed motion to

dismiss.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 26, 2006
