MINUTES of Proceedings: The Court heard oral argument on Defendant Health Net Health Plan of Oregon, Inc.'s Motion 23 to Dismiss Class Action Allegation Complaint and Defendant American Specialty Health Group, Inc.'s Motion 24 to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction, and Failure to Join a Necessary Party. For the reasons stated on the record, the Court GRANTS in part Defendants' Motions and DISMISSES Plaintiffs' Complaint 1 without prejudice and with leave to amend no later than 2/12/2016. In their Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs must: (1) plead facts specific to each Plaintiff that demonstrate that the Plaintiff suffered a cognizable injury-in-fact (e.g., the Plaintiff was denied a particular desired service; forced to pay specific, additional out-of-pocket costs; or, in the case of the service-provider Plaintiffs, were subject to specific instances of unlawful discrimination); (2) with respect to any claim under ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(1)(B), specify which provisions of their respective medical-insurance plans Plaintiffs assert established entitlement to the services that they claim they were unlawfully denied; (3) specifically identify the nature of the equitable relief sought under ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(2), and plead facts sufficient to establish a legal entitlement to that relief; and (4) independently specify which cause of action under which each Plaintiff seeks a remedy pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act. In addition, in light of Plaintiffs' concession that the service-provider Plaintiffs do not have a viable cause of action under ERISA, the Court directs Plaintiffs to specifically identify the cause of action each of the service-provider Plaintiffs rely on to justify the declaratory relief that they seek. As Defendants agreed at oral argument pending consultation with their respective clients, and in order to facilitate Plaintiffs' preparation of an Amended Complaint, the Court directs Defendants submit to the Court an agreed form of protective order and, thereafter, to produce to Plaintiffs the relevant medical-insurance plans and contracts no later than 1/22/2016. Defendants' responses to Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint are due no later than 3/4/2016. If necessary to do so before conducting discovery and before dispositive motions, the Court grants leave to Defendants to file another motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 in response to Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint. The Court will schedule a Rule 16 Conference upon the filing of Defendants' Answers to the operative complaint. Thomas Doyle, Richard Myers present as counsel for plaintiff(s). Harry Wilson, Elizabeth Mann, Brad Daniels, Stevan Phillips present as counsel for defendant(s).(Court Reporter Amanda LeGore.)Judge Anna J. Brown presiding. (bb) (Entered: 01/08/2016)
