Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein: ORDER entered. MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER on Harvard's 47 Amended MOTION for Partial Summary Judgment as to Count Ten. For the reasons detailed herein, this court concludes that the extent of Ms. Kilburn's consent is unclear and in dispute, and that this issue must await further development of the record. Harvard is relying on ambiguous documents and disputed oral conversations that have been untested by discovery. There are cases where the facts are so clear cut that summary judgment is appropriate before discovery begins. See Nieves-Romero v. United States, 715 F.3d 375, 380 (1st Cir. 2013). This is not such a case. Rather, the plaintiff is entitled to have "sufficient time and opportunity for discovery" before Harvard can prevail on a claim that the plaintiff cannot prove her case. See Carmona v. Toledo, 215 F.3d 124, 132-33 (1st Cir. 2000). Therefore, Harvard's motion for summary judgment as to Count Ten is DENIED without prejudice. (Thomson, Katherine)

Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein: ORDER entered. MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND ORDER on Defendant's 53 MOTION to Dismiss Counts One Through Nine of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint. For all the reasons detailed herein, the "Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Counts One Through Nine of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint" (Docket No. 53) is ALLOWED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Because the plaintiffs have failed to allege plausible claims against Harvard for gender discrimination under Title IX, Count Three of the Amended Complaint is dismissed. However, Harvard's motion is otherwise denied. (Thomson, Katherine)
