 +===== 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.((Civil Minutes, Judge R. Gary Klausner's Order to Denying Motion to Dismiss, p. 8 §V, “Conclusion,” 5/9/16.))
 +
 +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.
