- Well, by my reading, BSDI's motion to dismiss is based on the paucity of
- facts cited by AT&T in the complaint. Specifically, the complaint does
- not specifically identify a component (or components) of NET/2 which
- allegedly infringe AT&T's intellectual property rights. The motion to
- dismiss cites civil code procedure, claiming in effect that the lack of
- specificity of the complaint requires the dismissal.
