Angela Russell (Partner-Baltimore) and Pernell Choren (Associate-Washington, DC) obtained dismissal in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for a multinational food and beverage company accused of negligence. Angela and Perry filed a motion to dismiss, arguing dismissal was warranted because the claim contained insufficient pleadings and that pro se litigants like the plaintiff are not entitled to special treatment in the District of Columbia. Angela and Perry demonstrated that the plaintiff failed to effectuate the service of process on either our client or its insurer. In a four-page written decision, the Court found Angela and Perry’s arguments persuasive and ruled that the plaintiff failed to identify any element of any legally viable claim. The Court granted Wilson Elser’s motion and dismissed the plaintiff’s complaint and the amended complaint under Rule 12(b)(6).
