                                              REPLY  MEMORANDUM            OF ARTHUR
                           ANDERSEN  LLP  IN  SUPPORT  OF ITS  MOTION  TO  DISMISS
    
                   Plaintiffs  concede  that  they  fail  to  allege  the  following  specific  facts 
    
      within  their  knowledge  and  could  have  been  alleged,  if  true:  the  terms,  conditions, 
    
      circumstances  surrounding  their  seven  separate  "retentions"  of  Arthur  Andersen  (as
    
      their  retention  of  Parcon),  their  seven  years  of  fee  billing  from,  and  payments  to, 
    
      Andersen  (as  opposed  to  Parcon),  and  all  conduct  directed  to  them  by  Arthur  Andersen
    
      opposed  to  conduct  by  Parcon).
    
                   Tellingly,  plaintiffs  choose  to  stand  on  their  Third  Amended  Complaint, 
    
      they  need  only  "inform"  Arthur  Andersen  of  the  claims  against  it  with  allegations  of
    
      facts"  which  can  be  pled  "alternatively"       and  "hypothetically."     Such  pleading 
    
      precisely  the  type  of  conduct  that  Section  2-615  was  intended  to  eliminate  by 
    
      meritless  lawsuits,  thereby  conserving  the resources  of  defendants  and the  courts.
