• providing that a party may not respond to complaint allegations about contents of documents by saying that the “document speaks for itself”
• calling the speaks-for-itself response an “unacceptable device, used by lawyers who would prefer not to admit something that is alleged about a document in a complaint (or who may perhaps be too lazy to craft an appropriate response to such an allegation)”
• “[A] responsive pleading indicating that a document ‘speaks for itself is insufficient and contrary to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”
