LOPES, Defendants § ═══════════════════════════════════════ ORDER NUNC PRO TUNC ═══════════════════════════════════════ Before the court is the April 4, 2025, Motion for Summary Judgment by Fernando De Leon, LCG Ventures, LLC, LCG Ventures II, LLC, and Leon Capital Partners, LLC and the May 27, 2025, joinder in that motion by CLG Investments, LLC, Christopher Grottenthaler, Covert Investment Operations, LLC, True Health Diagnostic Management, LLC, Richard Covert, Timothy Tatarowicz, Alba Durata, LLC, Melinda Milburn, Jack Novak, and Dana Hovind. Having considered the pleadings, plaintiffs’ response and their motion for continuance, the summary judgment evidence, and the parties’ briefing and oral argument heard on July 3, 2025, the court concludes as follows: Defendants conclusively established that all of plaintiffs’ causes of action accrued no later than December 6, 2019—when the related bankruptcy proceedings were substantially consummated (Pet. ¶ 77)—more than for years before the filing of this action. Therefore, all of plaintiffs’ claims against the above-listed defendants are barred under the applicable statutes of limitations.

Further, plaintiffs did not raise a genuine issue of material fact concerning fraudulent concealment after that date. Therefore, the statutes of limitations were not tolled between that date and the filing of this action.

Additionally, plaintiffs did not carry their burden of establishing grounds supporting their motion for continuance.

Accordingly, because December 6, 2019, is more than four years before this lawsuit was filed on January 23, 2025, causes of action against the above- listed defendants are barred by the applicable statutes of limitations and are dismissed with prejudice.

So ORDERED.
