AMENDED ORDER ON MOTION TO STRIKE
THIS MATTER came before the Court on the Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike (the
"Motion") the First and Second Affirmative Defenses of the Answer filed by the
Defendants and the introductory paragraph of the Counterclaim filed by Defendants
Nihon Tsushin Kabushiki Kaisha dlb/a Japan Communications, Inc. ("@]Q") and Amceo
Corporation. On January 31, 2008, the Court entered an Order on the Motion and
inadvertently omitted ruling specifically the issue of personal jurisdiction. Having
considered the Motion and supporting Brief, the Opposition to the Motion filed by JCI
- and Frank Seiji Sanda ("Sanda"), and oral arguments presented to the Court, the Motion
is denied and the Court’s Order dated January 31, 2008 is amended to state as follows:
Regarding service of process, the Second Affirmative Defense, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED insofar as the Plaintiffs have not perfected
service of process upon JCI and Sanda in accordance with the Alabama Rules of Civil
Procedure as of the date of this Order. Regarding personal jurisdiction, the First
Affirmative Defense, the Court finds that until the Court is notified that JCI and Sanda
have been served with process, the issue of whether or not this Court has personal
jurisdiction over JCI and Sanda is not ripe for adjudication, and the Court cannot make a
determination of personal jurisdiction until JCI and Sanda are served with process.
DONE and ENTERED this 14m day of February, 2008.
