Civil Procedure Review Session Week 2 September 1, 2010 Review: Motions y Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b); Subsections of Rule 12(b) and case examples: o FRCP 12(b)(1)²lack of subject matter juris diction-Capron v. Van  Noorden o FRCP 12(b)(5)²insufficient service of process-Tickle v. Barton o FRCP 12(b)(6)²failure to state a c laim upon which relief can be granted- Case v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. o FRCP 12(b)(7)²failure to join a party under r ule 19-Temple v. Synthes Corp. y Motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim (a 12(b)(6) motion) are usua lly granted for one of t he foll owing reasons: o 1) The law pro vides no redress for this alleged wrong o 2) The co mplain t is mi ssing an allegation²something has been left out, something crucial or fundamental o 3) The complaint is confused & shou ld be dismissed (See Case v. State Farm) y Motions to dismiss for failure to join an indispensable party under Ru le 19 are usually not granted because joint tortfeasors (wrongdoers) do not have to be named as co-defendants in a l awsuit. If the plain tiff wants, he can bring separate lawsuits against each individual wrongdoer, even if those wrongdoers acted in concert doing the wrong. (Temple v. Synthes Corp.) Review: Personal Jurisdiction y Tickle: Service of process obtained by f raud, trickery or deceit is inv alid and does not operate to co nfer personal jurisdicti on on a defendant. y Three types of personal jurisdiction: o In personam jurisdiction: where the court will determine the personal rights, obligations, and liabilities of the defendant (i.e. co uld order the defendant to pay a judgment, making him personally liable on the debt) o In rem jurisdiction: jurisdiction (power over) property o Quasi-in-rem jurisdiction: don¶t worry about this yet! Just know that it exists. y Pennoyer v. Neff: The territorial principle:  o The territorial principle is the historical basis for in personam jurisdiction o It has two basic aspects:  1) A state has power over ALL t he persons and property physically located wi thin the territory of that state.  2) No state can exercise direct jurisdicti on and author ity over  persons or property outside of its territory. o In plain English: If you are in the s tate, the state can exercis e in personam  jurisdiction over you. If you are outsi de the state, the state cannot exercis e in personam jurisdiction over you.
