Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 205(a), New York's savings statute, did not govern the timeliness of plaintiffs' federal claims; [2]-In deciding defendants' Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss, the district court relied on two sources extrinsic to the complaint; [3]-The district court considered them on the theory that each was integral to the complaint; [4]-The district court considered converting defendants' motions to dismiss into motions for summary judgment, but ultimately decided against it. [5]-Because neither plaintiff's deposition testimony in the New York state action nor his affidavit in the Singapore action could properly be deemed integral to the complaint, that decision was in error; [6]-The district court erred by relying on materials outside the pleadings in deciding defendants' motions to dismiss.
