UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOHAMED LASHEEN,

NO. CIV. S-01-227 LKK/PAN

Plaintiff,

v. O R D E R

THE LOOMIS COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

The court is in receipt of the “special motion regarding

lack of jurisdiction” filed by The Loomis Company. The court

has reviewed the motion and the opposition, both of which

contain additional facts which are not contained in the

pleadings or in the court’s previous determination of undisputed

facts found in the July 2003 order. As that order made clear,

it is not possible to resolve the question of application of

ERISA (and thereby subject matter jurisdiction) based on the

pleadings alone and thus in order to consider the information

provided in the briefs the court must treat the “special motion”

as one for summary judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b).

Hence, in order to properly resolve the question the court

hereby ORDERS The Loomis Company to resubmit the motion with a

Statement of Undisputed Facts as set out in Local Rule 56-260. 

This matter shall be SET for hearing on the court’s February 27,

2006 law and motion calendar beginning at 10:00 a.m. in

Courtroom 4. The briefing schedule shall follow that set out in

Local Rule 78-230.1 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: January 9, 2006.
