The defendant Ioan Hossu brought a motion to strike the action against him under Rule 21 without leave to amend.
The court struck certain claims (breach of contract, breach of duty of good faith in contractual performance, and breach of fiduciary duty) without leave to amend, finding they had no reasonable prospect of success.
The court struck other claims (fraudulent misrepresentation, fraud, and unjust enrichment) with leave to amend, determining that while deficiencies existed, they could potentially be cured through proper pleading.
The court did not strike the conversion claim.
The court also addressed the plaintiff's request to adjourn the motion and ordered that the defendant provide bank account information regarding disputed funds held in Cuba.
