Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Daniels, J.).
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,

IN PART.1
Plaintiffs‐Appellants ("Plaintiffs") appeal from a decision and order of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Daniels, J.).
This summary order affirms the District Court's judgment with regard to all of
Plaintiffs' claims except those under the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS"), 28 U.S.C. § 1350. This summary order and the accompanying opinion, Licci et al. v. Lebanese Canadian Bank, SAL, 15‐1580, which addresses Plaintiffs' ATS claims, combine to affirm the District Court's judgment in toto. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural
