Presently before the Court is the motion to dismiss Plaintiff First Financial Security, Inc.’s

14

(“First Financial”) complaint brought by Defendants Michael W. Jones, Insurance Distribution

15

Consulting, LLC (“IDC”), and Supreme Alliance, LLC (“Supreme Alliance”) (collectively,

16

“Defendants”). Mot., ECF 15; Mem. P. & A. (“Mem”), ECF 16. Defendants argue that the

17

18

factual allegations of wrongdoing.” Mem. 6. The Court heard oral argument on Defendants’

19

motion on July 20, 2017.

22

DENIES Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Defendants shall answer the complaint on or before

23

August 21, 2017.
