Highlight

In the cautious exercise of its discretion, a district court may unilaterally dismiss a complaint for failure to state a valid claim. The court must, however, give the parties notice of its intentions and allow for an opportunity to respond.
If a motion to dismiss demands proof outside of the pleadings, the motion is treated as one for summary judgment.
