`Plaintiffs,
`

`
`
`
`Case No. 1:22-CV-01284
`
`Hon. Joan B. Gottschall
`
`Hon. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cole
`
`
`DEFENDANT HIREVUE, INC.’S OPPOSED MOTION TO
`DISMISS PLAINTIFFS’ FIRST AMENDED CLASS ACTION
`COMPLAINT PURSUANT TO RULES 12(b)(2) AND 12(b)(6)
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6), Defendant HireVue,
`
`
`
`Inc. (“HireVue”) respectfully moves to dismiss Plaintiffs’ First Amended Class Action
`
`Complaint (ECF No. 17), and in support thereof states the following:
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint (the “FAC”) should be dismissed for lack of
`
`personal jurisdiction under Rule 12(b)(2) because HireVue is not “at home” in Illinois, and
`
`Plaintiffs fail plausibly to plead facts to support specific personal jurisdiction.
`
`2.
`
`Even if personal jurisdiction existed, Plaintiffs’ claims under Illinois’s Biometric
`
`Information Privacy Act should be dismissed for failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6).
`
`3.
`
`In further support of its Motion, HireVue incorporates its Memorandum of Law
`
`filed contemporaneously herewith.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, HireVue respectfully requests that the Court grant its Motion and enter
`
`an Order dismissing Plaintiffs’ FAC with prejudice and granting such other relief as the Court
`
`deems appropriate.
