SAMUEL ARMACOST, et al.,
SECOND ORDER FOR
SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING RE:
RULE 23.1(C) NOTICE
Defendants.

United States District Court

On February 14, 2014, the Court ordered supplemental briefing on Plaintiff’s request for
12
voluntary dismissal without directing notice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1(c).
13
ECF No. 37. The Court subsequently altered the briefing schedule to permit Defendants to submit
14
a brief as well. ECF No. 40.
Although the parties have not briefed the issue, the Court notes that there is a danger that
15
16
with the dismissal of this suit, the statute of limitations on the remaining breach of duty claims
17
may have run. See Compl. ¶ 38 (noting that the “Bylaw was . . . adopted on September 29,
18
2010”); In re Tyson Foods, Inc., 919 A. 2d 563, 584 (Del. Ch. 2007) (Pursuant to 10 Del. C. §
19
8106 “A three-year statute of limitations applies to breaches of fiduciary duty . . . The statute of
20
limitations begins to run at the time that the cause of action accrues, which is generally when there
21
has been a harmful act by a defendant.”).
Because the statute of limitations bears directly on the question of prejudice to the
22
23
derivative claim, the parties are ORDERED to submit additional briefing. Plaintiff shall file a

supplemental brief by May 5, 2014. Defendants shall file a response brief by May 12, 2014.

Plaintiff may file a reply brief by May 16, 2014. No brief may exceed five pages in length.
