`TO THE HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR
`ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT on July 9, 2020 at 2:00 p.m., or as soon
`thereafter as the matter may be heard in Courtroom 4A, before the Honorable
`Anthony J. Battaglia of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
`California, 221 West Broadway San Diego, CA 92101, Defendant People for the
`Ethical Treatment of Animals, Inc. (“PETA”) will and hereby does move the Court
`for an order dismissing or striking Plaintiff Nazrin Massaro’s nationwide class
`claims from the Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2)
`and/or 12(f).
`
`PETA brings this Motion on the grounds that Plaintiff’s nationwide class
`claims must be dismissed or stricken because the Court lacks personal jurisdiction
`over the claims of unnamed putative class members who did not receive any text
`messages from PETA in California.
`This Motion is based upon this Notice, the concurrently filed Memorandum
`of Points and Authorities, Declaration of Jeffrey S. Kerr, all other pleadings, papers,
`records, and documentary material on file or deemed to be on file in this action, and
`upon such further oral or documentary evidence and argument as may be presented
`at or before the hearing, and any other matter the Court may deem appropriate.
