1. The Amended Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted in 

Counts X - XIX, XXIII, XXVI, and XXIX – XXXI of the Amended Complaint, the only claims 

asserted against GDL. Accordingly, the Court should dismiss these claims pursuant to Rule 

12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, made applicable to adversary proceedings 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7012(b). 

2. The Amended Complaint fails to join a party under Rule 19 Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure, made applicable to adversary proceedings pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy 

Procedure 7019, required for the adjudication of the conspiracy claims (Counts XXVII-XXX). 

Accordingly, the Court should dismiss these claims pursuant to Rule 12(b)(7) of the Federal Rules 

of Civil Procedure, made applicable to adversary proceedings pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Bankruptcy Procedure 7012(b). 

3. Pursuant to Local Rule 9013-1(G), a memorandum of points and authorities setting 

forth a statement of the facts and supporting reasons, along with citation of the authorities upon 

which GDL relies, accompanies the filing of this Motion. 

 WHEREFORE, Defendant Gary D. LeClair respectfully requests the Court grant this 

Motion to Dismiss; dismiss Counts X - XIX, XXIII, XXVI, and XXIX - XXXI of the Amended 

Complaint, and dismiss such other relief as may be just and proper. 

 Respectfully submitted this 27th day of September, 2021.
