Good eye, but this begs the question as to whether the other defendants were dismissed with or without prejudice, as it appears silent in this regard.

Try this on for size - TAEC was the only defendant with counterclaims.

IMO, this does not alter the premise of my delusions.

But please continue to think - that's what I'm respectfully requesting. And don't hesitate to research whether the other defendants had counterclaims.

Thank you! Really!
