.’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 15, 2022, MS&Co. filed a motion for summary judgment on all remaining claims. On March 1, 2023, the court granted in part and denied in part MS&Co.’s motion for summary judgment, narrowing the alleged misrepresentations at issue in the case. On March 26, 2024, the Appellate Division affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment order.
