DEFENDANTS MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO
STATE A CLAIM AND LACK OF JURISDICTION
Defendants Arlington County, Virginia and Melinda M. Artman (Ms.
Artman and
together with Arlington County, Virginia, the County) move,
pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) and
12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that this
Court dismiss the above-captioned
case with prejudice, in its entirety. As grounds for its motion
the County states that (1) the
Plaintiffs Original Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive
Relief (Complaint) fails to
state any claim upon which this Court could grant relief; (2)
under governing precedent, none of
the five apparent counts in the Complaint states a claim because
established precedent precludes
relief; and (3) because WMD lacks standing to challenge the
ordinance, this Court lacks subject
matter jurisdiction. The County makes its motion on the specific
grounds set forth in the
Memorandum of Law in Support of Defendants Motion to
Case 1:10-cv-01347-LMB -TCB Document 15 Filed 12/30/10 Page 1 of
