DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS

Defendants, by their undersigned attorneys, hereby move, pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and

12(b)(6), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to dismiss this action. The grounds for this motion

are that the Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over the claims asserted in Counts One, Two,

Three, and Six of the Amended Complaint; and that, with respect to all counts, the Amended

Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

In support of this motion, the Court is respectfully referred to the Memorandum of Points

and Authorities filed herewith.
