THE CACI DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFFS' AMENDED COMPLAINT Defendants CACI International Inc and CACI Premier Technology, Inc. (collectively, the "CACI Defendants") respectfully move, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) to dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint.

The bases for the CACI Defendants' motion are set forth in greater detail in the accompanying Memorandum. Wherefore, the CACI Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant its motion. A proposed order is attached.
