Filings and Orders Tracked
Docket events known to this site, oldest first. This is not a complete docket; it is the set of events this repository has recorded and can source.
Complaint filed
ComplaintThe action was commenced in the District of Delaware against Christopher Ripley, Mulford Waldrop, Frank D. Foley III, and Jack Foley. The related Georgia pleading describes the claims as arising from a non-disclosure agreement. The contents of a complaint are the plaintiffs' allegations.
Emergency motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction
MotionThe plaintiffs requested emergency injunctive relief at the outset of the case.
Temporary restraining order denied
OrderThe court denied the requested temporary restraining order.
What this means: A denial of a TRO resolves the application for emergency relief only. It is not a ruling on the merits of any claim, and it does not resolve the case. The action continued.
Answer and counterclaims filed by Christopher Ripley
Answer / CounterclaimDefendant Christopher Ripley filed an answer to the complaint together with counterclaims. According to the docket, the counterclaims are asserted against Roundhill Group LLC, Rockwell One Holdings LLC, RemArms, LLC, and Scott Soura. Corroborated by the docket: entry 57, “Answer to Complaint AND Counterclaim”, filed June 18, 2026.
What this means: The contents of an answer and counterclaim are the filing party's denials and assertions. They are not findings of fact.
Amended complaint filed
Amended ComplaintThe plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which supersedes the original pleading. Its contents are the plaintiffs' allegations. Corroborated by the docket: entry 62, “Complaint - Amended”, filed June 26, 2026.
Pending motions to dismiss denied as moot
OrderEarlier-filed motions to dismiss were denied as moot in light of the amended complaint. Corroborated by the docket: an oral order and a “SO ORDERED” entry are recorded on June 29, 2026.
What this means: A denial as moot is a procedural consequence of a superseding pleading. It is not a ruling that the motions lacked merit, and it is not a ruling on the merits of any claim. Responding parties may raise dismissal arguments against the amended pleading.
Notice of voluntary dismissal filed (docket entry 70)
Notice of Voluntary DismissalThe docket records a notice of voluntary dismissal at entry 70. The docket skeleton does not indicate which claims or parties it concerns, and this site has not obtained the document.
What this means: A notice of voluntary dismissal may dispose of particular claims or particular parties rather than an entire action. This site cannot say which applies here.
Motions to dismiss, and an answer and counterclaim to the amended complaint (entries 78, 80, 81)
Motions / Answer / CounterclaimThe docket records two dismissal motions (entries 78 and 81, categorised 'Dismiss/Fail to State Claim' and 'Dismiss/Other'), an opening brief in support (entry 79), and an answer to the amended complaint with a counterclaim (entry 80).
What this means: Recorded from the docket's own event-type categorisation. This site has not obtained the document and does not characterise its contents or how it was resolved.
Further amended complaint filed (docket entry 85)
Amended ComplaintThe docket records a further amended complaint at entry 85, with a summons issued at entry 87. This is a second amended pleading, after the amended complaint of June 26, 2026.
What this means: An amended complaint supersedes the pleading before it. Its contents are the plaintiffs' allegations.
Docket entry 90, categorised on the docket as “Preliminary Injunction”
Preliminary Injunction (uncategorised)The docket records entry 90 under the event type 'Preliminary Injunction'. This site has NOT obtained this document and cannot determine from the docket skeleton alone whether it is a motion, an order, a stipulation, or something else, nor how it was resolved.
What this means: This entry is listed for completeness because the docket shows it. It must not be read as indicating that any injunction was sought, granted, or denied. Anyone relying on this should obtain entry 90 from the court before drawing any conclusion.
Renewed motions to dismiss, and an answer and counterclaim (entries 99, 100, 103)
Motions / Answer / CounterclaimThe docket records a further dismissal motion at entry 99 ('Dismiss/Fail to State Claim') with an opening brief at entry 100, and an answer to the amended complaint with a counterclaim at entry 103.
What this means: Recorded from the docket's own event-type categorisation. This site has not obtained the document and does not characterise its contents or how it was resolved.
Briefing schedule set (so ordered)
OrderThe docket records an order setting a briefing schedule covering opening, answering, reply, and surreply briefs. Redacted documents were filed the same day at entries 105 through 108.
What this means: A briefing schedule is a scheduling order. It indicates that dismissal motions remain under briefing and have not been decided.
