04/29/2005 NOTICE-SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY RS Richard Forum BY: RS Greg A. Lewen 47422 O&7
07/07/2005 DISP-REMANDED We approve that part of the district court's opinion holding that a plaintiff has an absolute right to amend the complaint once as a matter of course before a responsive pleading is served. It therefore follows that leave of court is unnecessary to amend a complaint for the first time before the defendant has filed an answer. We disapprove the district court's opinion, however, to the extent it holds that a preemption argument cannot be presented in a motion to dismiss. To the contrary, we hold that it can. Finally, we conclude that the district court had no authority to impose sanctions for the conduct of Boca Burger and its counsel in the trial court. Because we cannot determine how much, if any, of the district court's decision was based on counsel's conduct on appeal--and because the record does not fully describe that conduct--we remand to the district court to consider that issue. If the district court does impose sanctions, it should state clearly whether its sanctions are to be imposed against Boca Burger itself, its counsel, or both. The court may also remand to the trial court to determine whether to impose sanctions for conduct that occurred in that court.
