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.
