DNC Defendants are Delaware North Companies, Inc., Delaware North Companies

As noted, the motion is directed to plaintiffs’ claims against the United States; the

motion does not expressly address DNC’s cross-claims against the United States. 

Nevertheless, apparently recognizing the issues raised in the motion affect the viability of

not only plaintiffs’ claims but also DNC’s cross-claims, the United States has chosen to

reply to the opposition filed by DNC. Under such circumstances, as the matter has been

fully briefed by both the United States and DNC, the Court construes the motion to dismiss

as challenging plaintiffs’ claims and DNC’s cross-claims.
