Dismiss Portions of Plaintiffs' Complaint Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) ("Motion to Dismiss") scheduled for hearing concurrently with Plaintiffs' Motion to Amend, specifically: (1) Plaintiffs have not and cannot establish organizational standing on behalf of Outerbridge because the organization itself has not suffered any alleged injury. Small v. General Nutrition Cos., Inc., 388 F. Supp. 2d 83, 98 (E.D.N.Y. 2005). (2) This Court should decline to exercise supplemental

jurisdiction over Plaintiffs' state disability claims as they pose "novel or complex issues of state law" that are best suited for resolution within the state court system. Gunther v. Lin, 50 Cal. Rptr. 317 (2006).

Accordingly, if Plaintiffs are unwilling to address these issues in their First Amended Complaint, Marie Callender's will move to dismiss and/or strike portions of the First Amended Complaint to conform with the relief sought in the Motion to Dismiss and as set forth herein.
