JUDGMENT ENTRY - Denying Defendants' Motion to Dismiss
Summary
The court has decided not to throw out the case against the Defendants, even though they wanted to dismiss it because they claimed other people should have been included. The court believes that dismissing the case isn't necessary since the Defendants wouldn’t be harmed and that it’s too late to add more people to the case. Now, the trial will only focus on the damages that the Plaintiffs, who are already named, say they suffered.
