  1. Jared Pankratz v. Steven A. Kriegsman et al

    REPLY In Support of MOTION to Dismiss Case Nominal Defendant's Notice of Motion and Motion to Dismiss Complaints Pursuant to Rules 12

    Filed November 20, 2014

    As discussed above, Plaintiffs’ Case 2:14-cv-06414-GHK-PJW Document 43 Filed 11/20/14 Page 18 of 24 Page ID #:541 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 14 NOMINAL DEFENDANT’S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINTS, OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO STAY assertions here are baseless and rejected by Delaware law. See ATP Tour, Inc. v. Deutscher Tennis Bund, 91 A.3d 554, 560 (Del. 2014) (affirming that a “bylaw provision is enforceable against members who joined the corporation before the provision’s enactment and who agreed to be bound by rules ‘that may be adopted and/or amended from time to time’ by the board” citing 8 Del. C. § 109; Boilermakers, 73 A.3d at 956)). In addition to the internal affairs doctrine, no policy of California provides that the derivative action proposed by Plaintiffs cannot be adjudicated by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
