| 09/29/2006 | 202 | ORDER Accordingly, for these reasons as well as those elaborated in Magistrate Judge Pitman?s Report, see Report at 17-30, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Pitman's recommendation that Defendants' motion to dismiss be granted with respect to: (1) plaintiff Michael Tema Vizor's civil RICO claim; (2) newly added claims for wrongful death brought on behalf of plaintiffs otherthan David Kiobel; (3) the new plaintiffs' claims for assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress; and (4) the new plaintiffs' negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress claims against all defendants other than Brian Anderson. Although Magistrate Judge Pitman did not reach this issue in the Report, see Report at 17 n.7, the Court concludesthat David Kiobel,s wrongful death claim should be dismissed for the same reasons. Granting Plaintiffs Leave to Re-Plead Their Dismissed ClaimsAs discussed above, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that leave to amend shall be "freely given." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). However, a court need not grant leave to amend where a plaintiff's claims are barred by the statute of limitations, because amendment in such instances would be futile. The Court agrees with Magistrate Judge Pitman's recommendation that the following claims be dismissed:claims seven through nine of the Second Amended Complaint as brought by the new plaintiffs; claims seven through eleven of the Third Amended Complaint as brought by the new plaintiffs; and claim twelve of the Third Amended Complaint as brought by Michael Tema Vizor. However, the Court denies Plaintiffs leave to re-plead their claims becasue amendment would be futile. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Kimba M.

Wood from Judith Brown Chomsky dated 12/31/2008 re: Requesting guidance as to whether the Court will consider these arguments, so that plaintiffs will know whether to respond. ENDORSEMENT: In their reply, Plaintiffs may and should brief any choice-of-law issues related to their Alien Tort Statute claims because these are significantly intertwined with the substance of the relevant international law. In addition, to the extent that Plaintiffs think that addressing an issue raised by Defendants in their brief on international law will aid the Court in determining the substance of the international law governing Plaintiffs' claims, the Plaintiffs may address them on their reply. However, Plaintiffs need not address arguments better suited to any motion Defendants choose to file regarding the Court's subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs Alien Tort Statute claims.
