Background
Arizona Beverages USA, LLC filed a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), which permits dismissal for failure to state a legal claim. Thomas Iglesias responded by filing an amended complaint.

The court denied Arizona Beverages’ motion to dismiss as moot and also denied the motions to seal as moot. The court vacated the hearing scheduled for March 31, 2023.
Disposition and classification
This was a procedural order because the court resolved the pending motions as moot after the amended complaint was filed, without deciding the legal sufficiency of the original complaint.
