═══════════════════════════════════════
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.
