SunPower Corporation v. Sunpower California, LLC

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUNPOWER CORPORATION, Case No.: 21-CV-375-CAB-MSB Plaintiff,

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR A v. MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT AND MOTION TO STRIKE

SUNPOWER CALIFORNIA, LLC;

GREEN TECH SOLAR d/b/a Sunpower

California; and Benjamin Jackson, [Doc. No. 12]

Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Benjamin Jackson’s motion for a more definite statement and motion to strike the complaint as to claims against him. The motion has been fully briefed, and the Court deems it suitable for submission without oral argument. Upon review of the motion, the Court is unable to discern any cogent legal argument for dismissing Plaintiff’s claims against Jackson, which is the outcome Jackson seeks notwithstanding the title of his motion. In any event, the Court finds that the complaint contains “sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face’” against Jackson, Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)), and that a more definite statement is not warranted. Accordingly, the motion for a more definite statement | to strike the complaint is DENIED. Jackson shall file his answer to the complaint by May 6, 2021.

Itis SO ORDERED.
