REPLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S
MOTION TO DISMISS WITHOUT PREJUDICE OR TO STAY
INTRODUCTON
1. In Plaintiffs opening memorandum' on its Motion to Dismiss Without
Prejudice or to Stay, Plaintiff explained why this action should be dismissed without prejudice
under the unique facts of this case, and it set forth the legal standard that Defendants must meet
in order to convince this Court not to grant the relief Plaintiffhas requested. In their answering
brief,2 Defendants fail to demonstrate that they satisfy the relevant legal standard given the facts
of this case. Instead, Defendants mischaracterize the facts of this case and then apply those facts
to a legal standard of their own creation.
2. As Defendants concede in their answering brief, Plaintiff prosecuted this
expedited action vigorously between the date of filing, October 13,2000, and the date of trial,
' Cites to Plaintiffs Motion to Dismiss Without Prejudice or to Stay appear,as "Pk. Open. Br. at
2 Cites to Defendants' Answering Brief in Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion to Dismiss Without

Re: Green Isle Partners, Ltd., S.E. v. The Ritz Carlton
Hotel Company, L.L.C., et al., Civil Action No. 18416
Date Submitted: April 24,200l
Dear Counsel:
Pending is this Court's decision on the merits of this action to inspect books
and records of the defendants. The plaintiff claims inspection rights under a Hotel
Operating Agreement, governed by Georgia Law, among the parties. Regrettably,
the state of the post-trial briefing leaves the Court unable to resolve this matter,
because it is unclear precisely what issues the Court is supposed to decide.
To elaborate, the merits-related issues were initially posed by the pretrial
briefs--or so the Court thought. Those issues included (broadly speaking) (i)
whether Green Isle was entitled under the Operating Agreement to inspect the
books and records not only of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but
