Respectfully submitted,

None of these techniques succeed in overcoming the errors in the District Court’s order or changing the conclusion that Defendants’ motion to dismiss was improperly granted.

(Answer Brief, pp. 17-18) None of Defendants’ tactics change the conclusion that the District Court’s dismissal of the second count of the Complaint was clear error.
