R. CIV. P. 12(b)(6) Introduction In this case, plaintiffs Fox News Network, LLC (the "Fox Network") and Christopher Wallace ("Wallace") (together, "Plaintiffs") are attempting to use intellectual property and Missouri tort laws to stifle core political speech in the heat of this election season. Defendant Robin Carnahan for Senate, Inc. (the "Carnahan Campaign") is prepared to establish that its use of a January 2006 Wallace interview of Rep. Roy Blunt (the "2006 Interview") is prototypical fair use and that Wallace's tort claims are invalid. But before even reaching those arguments on the merits, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), the Court should dismiss the Fox Network's copyright infringement claim for failure to meet a necessary filing precondition. In particular, Plaintiffs filed the complaint before Fox Network had filed a completed copyright application with the Copyright Office. Because Fox Network commenced its copyright claim prematurely, the Court cannot Case 4:10-cv-00906-GAF Document 16 Filed 10/08/10 Page 1 of 10 grant the Fox Network relief on its copyright infringement claim and must therefore dismiss this claim. This motion is supported by the pleadings and papers on file in this matter as well as the Declaration of William C. Rava ("Rava Decl.") filed herewith.
