Barberi v. La Rampa Restaurant LLC et al

A motion to dismiss is pending in Barberi v. La Rampa Restaurant LLC et al, docket 26-cv-20805, with the court having entered an order on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim at docket entry 14.

The case was filed in 2026 and remains active, though a judge has not yet been assigned. The court of record has not been confirmed in available docket data, though the docket prefix suggests federal jurisdiction. The April 20, 2026 activity reflects the court's engagement with the motion to dismiss, which targets whether the plaintiff's complaint states a legally sufficient claim.

La Rampa Restaurant LLC is named as a defendant alongside other parties. The specific claims Barberi brings — whether wage theft, discrimination, accessibility, or something else — are not yet confirmed in available filings. The outcome of the motion to dismiss will determine whether any of those claims survive to discovery.

A motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) asks the court to throw out the case before any evidence is gathered. The defendant argues the complaint, taken on its face, does not describe a legal wrong. If the court grants it, Barberi may get a chance to amend.

If denied, the case moves to discovery.

With no judge assigned and limited docket detail available, the procedural posture is thin. What is clear is that the defendants moved early and aggressively to end the case on the pleadings. The court's ruling on docket entry 14 will set the trajectory.
