WYNNDALCO DEFENDANTS’ AND THORNLEY DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR JUDGMENTS ON THE PLEADINGS

Defendant-Counterclaim Plaintiff Wynndalco Enterprises, LLC (“Wynndalco”), and its 

two officers, David Andalcio and Jose Flores (collectively with Wynndalco, the “Wynndalco 

Defendants”), and Defendants Melissa Thornley, Deborah Benjamin-Koller and Josue Herrera (the 

“Thornley Defendants” and collectively, with the Wynndalco Defendants, “Defendants”), through 

counsel, move pursuant to FRCP 12(c) for the entry of judgments on the pleadings, as follows: 

(1) A judgment in the Wynndalco Defendants’ favor on Count One of Wynndalco’s 

Counterclaim, which seeks a declaration that plaintiff-counterclaim defendant 

Citizens Insurance Company of America (“Citizens) has a duty, pursuant to the 

liability insurance policy (the “Policy”) it issued to Wynndalco, to defend 

Wynndalco against the claims asserted against it in Thornley v. CDW-Government, 

LLC and Wynndalco Enterprises, LLC, No. 2020 CH 04346 (Circuit Court of Cook 

Case: 1:20-cv-03873 Document #: 85 Filed: 06/11/21 Page 1 of 3 PageID #:966

County) (the “Thornley lawsuit”) and Calderon v. Clearview AI, Inc., et al, 1:20 cv 

01296 (S.D.N.Y.);

(2) Judgments in Defendants’ favor as to Counts One and Two of Citizens’ First 

Amended Complaint, which seek declarations that Citizens is relieved of its 

obligation to defend (and indemnify) Wynndalco against the claims in the Thornley 

and the Wynndalco Defendants in the claims in the Calderon lawsuits pursuant to 

an exclusion in its Policy for “Distribution of Material in Violation of Statutes.”

In support of this motion, Defendants have filed contemporaneously a supporting memorandum 

of law.

WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully pray the Court to grant their motion and declare 

and adjudge the controversy as follows:

A. That the Distribution of Material in Violation of Statutes exclusion in Citizens’ 

Policy does not bar coverage under the Policy for the claims asserted against the 

Wynndalco in the Thornley lawsuit and the Wynndalco Defendants in the Calderon

lawsuit;

B. That Citizens has a duty pursuant to the Policy to defend (and potentially to 

indemnify) Wynndalco against the claims asserted against the Wynndalco in the 

Thornley lawsuit and the Wynndalco Defendants in the Calderon lawsuit;

C. That the declaration sought in Count One of Wynndalco’s Counterclaim should be 

granted and the declarations sought in Counts One and Two of Citizens’ First 

Amended Complaint should be denied.

Dated: June 11, 2021 Respectfully submitted,

WYNNDALCO ENTERPRISES, LLC,
