Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto granted a motion for a pre-motion conference filed by 28 defendants on May 9, 2025. The court scheduled the conference for June 6, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.

in Courtroom 6B South. The conference will address the defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss the case. The plaintiff must submit a response letter by May 21, 2025, limited to four pages, addressing the defendants' arguments.

This order signals the defendants' intent to challenge the legal sufficiency of the plaintiff's claims early in the litigation. The court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss itself but is setting the stage for briefing and argument. The case remains active under Judge Matsumoto's supervision.

The docket number and court remain unspecified in the available records. The pre-motion conference will clarify the scope and timing of the dismissal motion, potentially shaping the case's trajectory. The plaintiff's response letter will provide the first substantive pushback against the defendants' dismissal effort.

The court's handling of the pre-motion conference will reveal how aggressively it will scrutinize the complaint's viability before discovery proceeds.
