Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 RACHAEL WRIGHT WINSOR, et al., Case No. 21-cv-00227-JSC
Plaintiffs,
ORDER RE: MOTION TO DISMISS
v. AMENDED COMPLAINT
SEQUOIA BENEFITS & INSURANCE Re: Dkt. No. 60 SERVICES LLC, et al., 11 Defendants.
12 Plaintiffs, current and former participants in RingCentral, Inc.’s Welfare Benefits Plan, allege that Defendants engaged in an unlawful kickback scheme as fiduciaries of the Plan. The Court previously dismissed Plaintiffs’ complaint for lack of Article III standing, granting leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 54.) Defendants now move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ amended complaint, (Dkt. No. 55), on the grounds that it fails to establish standing or, in the alternative, fails to plausibly allege that Defendants were fiduciaries. (Dkt. No. 60.) After carefully considering the parties’ briefing, and having had the benefit of oral argument on October 28, 2021, the Court GRANTS the motion.3
