How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting the uncertainty of whether courts in this District apply a per se rule
• distinguishing Kane, where “the corporation had been completely liquidated,” from a situation where a corporation, “whether healthy or not, remains in existence and can benefit from a recovery in the derivative action”
• discussing “the incompatibility of the relief sought” by the plaintiff
• “In sum, the Court finds that Ryan is subject to a conflict of interest in pursuing both direct and derivative claims in this action, which renders him unable ‘fairly and adequately [to] represent the interests of the shareholders’ as required under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23.1.”
