`
`
`FOUNDATION MEDICINE, INC.,
`

`
`C.A. No. 1:17-cv-12194-MLW
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`CARIS MPI, INC.’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A SURREPLY
`IN OPPOSITION TO FOUNDATION MEDICINE INC.’S MOTION TO DISMISS
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(b)(3), Plaintiff Caris MPI, Inc. (“Caris”) hereby moves this
`
`Court for leave to file the attached brief surreply in opposition to Foundation Medicine Inc.’s
`
`motion to dismiss the Complaint.
`
`On January 16, 2018, Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss Caris’ Complaint and an
`
`accompanying brief in support thereof. (ECF Nos. 22 and 23.) On March 1, 2018, Caris filed an
`
`opposition to Defendant’s motion. (ECF No. 31.) On March 20, 2018, Defendant filed a motion
`
`for leave to file a reply brief, which was attached as Exhibit A. (ECF Nos. 33 and 33-1.) The
`
`Court granted Defendant’s motion on April 2, 2018. (ECF No. 34.) The attached surreply is
`
`necessary to allow Caris to address several errors of law and fact set forth in Defendant’s reply
`
`brief, including misstatements of the applicable case law and disputed facts. For example,
`
`Defendant’s brief quotes a dissent from a Federal Circuit opinion, misrepresenting the dissent as
`
`the holding of the case. In addition, Defendant’s brief addresses certain additional new caselaw
`
`from the Federal Circuit for the first time, requiring Caris to respond with its position thereon.
`
`A copy of the proposed surreply brief is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Caris has conferred
`
`with counsel for Defendant and Defendant does not oppose this motion.
