ORDER RE PENDING MOTIONS TO DISMISS. For the reasons set forth in the attached ruling, the Court GRANTS the motion todismiss (Doc. #68) of the Benistar Defendants (defendants Molly Carpenter, Donald Trudeau, Benistar Admin Services, Inc., TPG Group, Inc., and Moonstone Partners, LLC) on the ground that the complaint's claims against them are barred by res judicata. The Court GRANTS the motion to dismiss (Doc. #72) of Grist Mill Partners, LLC with respect to the Second Count (attorneys' fees) and Fifth Count (constructive trust) of the complaint, but DENIES the motion to dismiss with respect to the First Count (alter ego liability). The Court GRANTS the Defendant Trusts' first motion to dismiss (Doc. #74) with respect to the Second Count (attorneys' fees), the Third Count (constructive trust), and the Fourth Count (constructive trust) of the complaint, but DENIES the motion with respect to the First Count (alter ego liability). The Court DENIES the Defendant Trusts' second motion to dismiss (Doc. #87). The dismissal of some of Universitas's claims are without prejudice to the filing of a proposed amended complaint if Universitas has good faith grounds to believe its amended complaint can cure the dismissed claims' deficiencies that are identified in this ruling. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 3/15/2021. (DeBot, B.)
