DEFENDANTS’ NOTICE
OF PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF THE
MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT
Defendants hereby withdraw that portion, and only that portion, of their
Motion to Dismiss Plaintift“s’ complaint set forth in Section IV.C.2 of the Brief in
Support. That section asserts that Plaintiff McNeil iacks standing to sue certain

Case 1:05-cv-00069-Gl\/IS Document 45 Filed 06/O3/2005 Page 2 of 4
defendants because of a lack of causal connection between the charges in the Complaint
and those defendants. We are concurrently tiling a revised brief with the changes noted
abover Attached to that filing as Exhibit A is a "reciline" copy ofthe Brief in Support
with the withdrawn portions ruled out. Defendants also withdraw the affidavit of Andrew
C. Briscoe, III, attached as Exhibit C ofthe original brief and referenced in the withdrawn
argument.
By removing this argument from its current motion to dismiss, Defendants
intend to streamline the motion and remove any rationale for the very extensive discovery
proposed by Plaintiff prior to the Court’s ruling on the motion to dismiss. For example,
in addition to document requests, Plaintiff has served 24 individual deposition notices
and 18 Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notices.
