U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3285
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Securities. While the district court considered information
in public records to place the facts of the case into context when
considering defendant's motion to dismiss, the information was used for
a permissible limited purpose, and the court was not compelled to convert
defendant's motion to dismiss to one for summary judgment; the district
court did not err in dismissing the complaint on the ground plaintiff had
failed to meet the heightened pleading requirements of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act.
