- ilnd;;1:19-cv-04908_de29 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) filed by defendant GE Renewable Energy, a division of General Electricdenied 25 , without prejudice to filing a procedurally proper motion. Defendant contends that the plaintiff's claim against it is barred by the statute of limitations. "Dismissing a complaint as untimely at the pleading stage is an unusual step, since a complaint need not anticipate and overcome affirmative defenses, such as the statute of limitations." Sidney Hillman Health Ctr. of Rochester v. Abbott Labs., Inc., 782 F.3d 922, 928 (7th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted). Dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) based on an affirmative defense is appropriate only if the complaint itself establishes that there is no way around the defense. See id. That is not the case here, as the complaint does not rule out the possibility of application of equitable tolling, the discovery rule, or some other appropriate basis to avoid the statute of limitations. The status hearing set for 9:00 AM on 10/31/2019 will proceed as scheduled. (mk) (Entered: 10/29/2019)" @default.
