ORDER

Defendant Romain Dallemand has moved to dismiss the Plaintiff's complaint because it "fail[s] to state a cause of action." Doc. 73. Defendant Dallemand bases his motion on his affirmative defense that the Plaintiff's claims are barred "by the integration/merger clause in Defendant Dallemand's Severance Agreement." Doc. 73-1. Dallemand's brief points to what he apparently assumes will be the Plaintiff's argument in response to his affirmative defense and argues he will prevail.

The Court cannot dismiss a complaint for failure to state a claim just because a defendant thinks he has a good defense. Nothing in Dallemand's motion or brief suggests that the complaint, on its face, fails to state a claim.

Accordingly, Dallemand's motion is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
