Raise your hand if you didn't see this Motion to Dismiss coming.

Yeah, my hand isn't up either.

======================================
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SINDEELOU THOMSON,
Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN T. DOOLITTLE,
Defendant.

MOTION TO DISMISS AND/OR FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF DEFENDANT JOHN T. DOOLITTLE

Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), defendant John T. Doolittle, United States Representative for California’s 4th congressional district, respectfully moves for an order dismissing all claims against him with prejudice on the grounds that the Complaint fails to state a cause of action upon which relief may be granted, and Congressman Doolittle is immune from suit. In addition, or in the alternative, Congressman Doolittle moves for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 because there are no material facts in dispute and the Congressman is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. Simultaneously herewith, we have filed a Memorandum of Points and Authorities,
-2-
Statement of Undisputed Facts, and a Proposed Order.

We do not request oral argument inasmuch as this matter may appropriately be decided by the Court without a hearing based on the Notice of Motion, Motion, Statement of Undisputed Facts, Memorandum of Points and Authorities in support thereof, and any subsequent pleadings filed.

Respectfully submitted,

GERALDINE R. GENNET
General Counsel
KERRY W. KIRCHER
