Question
INSTRUCTION (students name starts from A)
Assume that you were a paralegal working for associate in a law
firm and you have been tasked with one of the below internal
memo assignments.
If your last name starts with A to I, please complete the
following research and writing task:
Review the fact pattern from Week 4 dealing with Mr. Varney's
daughter who was bitten by a dog in New York. Assume that Mr.
Varney, a citizen of Alabama, filed a complaint in the United
States District for the Southern District of New York based on
diversity of citizenship against the dog owners, who are
citizens of New York, and the hotel, owned by a corporation
with headquarters in Delaware. Assume now that you are working
for a law firm that is representing the hotel. The hotel has
asked your firm to file a motion to dismiss the complaint for
its failure to state a claim; you have been tasked with writing
that motion. Please assume the United States District for the
Southern District of New York possesses personal and subject
matter jurisdiction. Also, assume the case was filed in the
proper venue and that the court possesses personal and subject
matter jurisdiction.
Do some research into the standard of review that the district
court judge will apply when evaluating the hotel's motion to
dismiss. Locate the applicable cases and Rules of Civil
Procedure that the district court judge may review when making
his or her decision on the motion to dismiss. Then, provide
outline what additional information you would need to learn
about the complaint to assess whether to file the motion to
dismiss on behalf of the hotel. Organize your findings and
recommendation in the form of a short internal memo.

following research and writing task:

All students: In preparing your short memo, please use the
following memo as an example:
CUNY Law Office Memo Example
Be sure to cite your sources using proper Bluebook format.
Please note in the body of the memo if we need to locate any
additional information to assess the situation. Also, please
remember that all parts of the memo must relate to the facts of
the fact pattern.
If you have any questions about how to draft your memo, please
remember that I am here to help. Also, note that this memo
assignment is different from the prior week's assignment
because it asks you to specifically identify the applicable
Rules of Civil Procedure relevant to the fact pattern. And
remember that you shouldn't spend more than a few hours working
on this internal memo assignment.
