Re: Snyder v. GPM2, LLC i
C.A. No. 07-00066 GMS
Dear Judge Sleet:
I represent two defendants in the above matter, Christy Management, LLC and The
Felton Bank, each of which filed a motion to dismiss for, among other things, lack of subject
matter jurisdiction (the "Motions"). The Opening Brief in support of the Motions was filed on
March 29, 2007.
In today’s mail, I received the plaintiffs "Opposition to Motion(s) to Dismiss, Amended
Complaint, Request for Hearing" (the "Response"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A. The Response does not address any of the arguments raised in the Opening Brief filed in
support of the Motions. Nor does it correct the deficiencies found in the original complaint.
Accordingly, the defendants waive the filing of a Reply Brief.
With briefing now complete, we would respectfully request that Your Honor schedule
this matter for oral argument at the Court’s earliest convenience, to the extent that oral argument
is even warranted. Although plaintiff has requested a hearing on the Motions, he asserts no legal
basis for opposing the Motions. As the Court’s records reflect, this plaintiff has a history of
filing Bivolous suits.
Plaintiffs current suit is creating a cloud on the title to the property now owned by
Christy Management, LLC. With a sale of that property now pending, my client has a sense of
urgency in resolving this matter.
Should Your Honor have any questions, I am available at the convenience of the Court.
Resgztfully,
hn H. Newcomer, Jr.
