[U] Globaldata Management Corp. V. Pfizer Inc‪.‬

Plaintiff commenced this action against the defendants by filing its complaint and moved for a temporary restraining order, which was granted on February 9, 2005. In its complaint, the plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and money damages. The complaint sets forth ten causes of action, of which five seek injunctive relief and five seek money damages. Defendants opposed the TRO, and moved to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint in this case under CPLR 3211(a)(7), based on plaintiff's alleged failure to state a cause of action in any of the ten causes of action. In the alternative, with respect to the causes of action against defendant Pfizer, the defendant seeks a stay of this court's proceeding under CPLR 2201, and an order directing the parties to follow the alternative dispute resolution in the contract . A hearing on the TRO was held on February 28, 2005, and finding lack of "irreparable harm", I dissolved the TRO.*fn1 I now address the pending motions to dismiss made by the defendants.
