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.

Without their bravery, hard work, and accomplishments this research, and possibly even this researcher would not exist. In many ways they served as the flagship for the validity of black political empowerment as they struggled to balance their roles as leaders of large cities and spokespersons for the African American cause.

In 2013 Mayor Francis Slay was elected to a record fourth term and he is now the longest serving mayor in St. Louis history. Mayor Slay has maintained a winning electoral coalition since his first election in 2001, although that coalition was tested in the 2013 election. While Mayor Slay’s electoral coalition has several features of an urban regime, his record-setting reelection does not guarantee that major items on his agenda will be implemented. Characteristics of the City Many institutional features of St. Louis government weaken the mayor’s power and foster political factionalism. The city has a mayor-council form of government with a weak mayor. City budgets and contracts are controlled by the three-person Board of Estimate and Apportionment (BEA), which includes the mayor and the separately elected Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen.
