`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT
`
`
`LEGO SYSTEM A/S,
`
`
`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S SECOND MOTION FOR
`LEAVE TO AMEND ITS COMPLAINT TO ADD ADDITIONAL DEFENDANTS.
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 12 and 15, Defendants Rubicon
`
`Communications, LP DBA SmallWorks and SmallWorks, LLC (“Defendants”) hereby
`
`respond to Plaintiff’s Second Motion for Leave to Amend its Complaint to Add Additional
`
`Defendants (“Motion to Amend”). Attached are Defendants’ Memorandum of Law in
`
`support of this Response (Ex. A), excerpts from the Deposition of James Thompson
`
`(Ex. B – filed under seal), the Certificate of Formation of SmallWorks, LLC (Ex. C), the
`
`Declaration of James Thompson (Ex. D), excerpts from the Deposition of Jamie
`
`Thompson (Ex. E – filed under seal), and the Declaration of Jamie Thompson (Ex. F).
`
`Defendants believe that it is not necessary to add Rubicon Communications LLC as a
`
`party defendant, but in light of recent discovery, Defendants will not object to Plaintiff’s
`
`Motion to Amend as it pertains to adding Rubicon Communications, LLC as an
`
`additional defendant. For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum of
`
`Law, however, Defendants respectfully request that Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend be
`
`denied as it pertains to adding Jamie and James Thompson as individual defendants.
