In4Network, Inc. v. Perkins Coie et al.
Plaintiff, appeals from a judgment on the pleadings of the entirety of an amended complaint for legal malpractice, contract and fiduciary breach, and fraud in favor of its former attorneys, defendants, Nicholas Rockefeller, David Biderman, and Vick Mansourian, and Perkins Coie, LLP. The judgment on the pleadings motion was granted on the ground that the amended complaint was a sham pleading because it contained allegations which directly contradicted those in the original verified complaint. Court agree with defendants that there are inconsistent claims in the original and amended complaints. Nonetheless, each count of the amended complaint contains consistent claims. Therefore, the judgment on the pleadings motion should have been denied.
