Main Doc­ument

Order for Initial Pretrial Conference

So the pretrial conference plan from the court includes a period of discovery. Hence motions to dismiss will also be after discovery and any corresponding amended and consolidated complaint. It seems unlike that the court would order the case dismissed before conclusions from discovery.
