Tweet, et. al. v. Syngenta AG et al. No. 3:16cv-00255-DRH

ORDER GRANTING CONSENT MOTION TO DISMISS AND STIPULATION
FOR THE DISMISSAL OF PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS AGAINST
LOUIS DREYFUS COMPANY BV
Louis Dreyfus Company BV (“LDC BV”) 1 and plaintiffs stipulate that the
reasoning behind the Court’s dismissal of claims against Cargill, ADM, Bunge,
and Louis Dreyfus Company LLC would apply equally to LDC BV, as plaintiffs
make the same substantive allegations with respect to LDC BV’s conduct as with
conduct by Cargill, ADM, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus Company.

Therefore,

plaintiffs’ claims against LDC BV are DISMISSED ON THE MERITS WITH
PREJUDICE for the reasons stated in the Court’s January 4, 2017 dismissal
order (Doc. 185).
Notwithstanding the stipulation of dismissal and this Order, plaintiffs
preserve all rights that they may have for attempting to challenge the Court’s
dismissal order, and plaintiffs preserve their rights to similarly challenge the

dismissal of LDC BV. LDC BV preserves all defenses that it may have to the
Third Amended Consolidated Complaint including but not limited to those related
to personal jurisdiction and those set forth in the Motion to Dismiss plaintiff’s
Third Amended Consolidated Complaint (Doc. 138).

SO ORDERED THIS 30th day of MARCH, 2017.
