1Opinion of the Court
RYAN, District Judge.
This action is brought to recover for an alleged libel. Plaintiff alleges it was damaged by a financial report issued by defendant. The complaint contains no allegation of special damage. Plaintiff contends that the report is libel per se.
Defendant moves, after answer, for a dismissal of the complaint for insufficiency in law. The Court, however, considers this motion as one for judgment on the pleadings and entertains it under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 12(b) (6), (c), 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723c. Brown v. W. T. Grant Co., D.C., 53 F.Supp. 182.
