 +===== Dismissal Denied =====
 +
 +In a sweeping rejection of arguments made by Axanar's lawyers, [[Judge R. Gary Klausner|a federal judge]] on May 9, 2016, denied the pending [[motion to dismiss]] and ordered the [[copyright infringement]] [[lawsuit]] should move forward.

 +
 +The eight-page "civil minutes" published by the court denied each point of law Axanar's attorney, [[Erin Ranahan]], asserted in the pending dismissal motion.
 +
 +In issuing the order, Klausner included a sly reference to Vulcan philosophy:
 +
 +> Although the Court declines to address whether Plaintiffs’ Claims <wrap hi>will prosper</wrap> at this time, the Court does find Plaintiffs’ claims will <wrap hi>live long</wrap> enough to survive Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. IT IS SO ORDERED.
 +
 +With the dismissal motion disposed of, the case proceeded forward to an expected filing by Axanar's law firm, [[Winston & Strawn]] of its answer to the [[summary_of_the_lawsuit|legal complaint]] on or before May 25, 14 days after the judge's ruling.
