et al.,

Defendants.

_______________________________/

Defendants’ motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) to dismiss

the complaint for failure to state a claim came on for hearing before this court on August

25, 2010. Plaintiffs appeared by their counsel David Sturgeon-Garcia, and defendants

appeared by their counsel Edward R. Buell. Having read the parties’ papers and carefully

considered their arguments and the relevant legal authority, and good cause appearing, the

court hereby GRANTS the motion in part and DENIES it in part as follows, for the reasons

stated at the hearing.

claims under the Declaratory Judgment Act, or as statutory claims seeking declaratory or

other relief. 

2. The motion to dismiss the second cause of action for injunctive relief is

GRANTED. The dismissal is WITH PREJUDICE. In addition, however, plaintiffs shall
