 Nos. 1-03-2942, 1-03-3609 cons., Jackson v. Callan Publishing, Inc.
Callan was to keep the remaining 78% of collected "sponsorship revenue." The contract further provided that Callan was an independent company and not in any manner an employee or agent of the FOP and, similarly, no persons or entities performing services in connection with the "sponsorship" program were agents or employees of the FOP.
Callan moved to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that it involved substantially the same parties, was based on many of the same factual allegations and sought virtually identical relief as a pending action filed by the Attorney General of Illinois (the AG action) prior to the commencement of this action.
Callan asserted that the instant action was duplicative of the AG action and therefore dismissible under section 2-619(a)(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure (the Code) (735 ILCS 5/2-619(a)(3) (West 2002)) and further asserted that the Act preempted plaintiffs' common law claims.
