Bowens v. Aftermath Entertainment

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that the Federal Wiretap Act “includes a private right of action” (citing 18 U.S.C. § 2520)
• explaining that an attachment, unlike a contract, does not define the rights and obligations of the parties, is not a “written instrument” for purposes of Rule 10(c), and more like the sort of evidentiary material that should not be attached to pleadings
• noting that a defendant may introduce a pertinent document that a plaintiff has failed to attach to a motion to dismiss because “[o]therwise, a plaintiff with a legally deficient claim could survive a motion to dismiss simply by failing to attach a dispositive document.”
• “In order to resolve these questions, the Court would be required to make factual determinations that are inappropriate at this stage of the proceedings”
