Marks & Sokolov attorneys Bruce Marks and Tom Sullivan successfully obtained dismissal under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) of a $7,695,000 claim against Kanye 2020, which was formed to support Kanye West’s then 2020 presidential campaign. On April 14, 2024, the Wyoming District Court dismissed the claims because the plaintiff had failed to plausibly state a cause of action against Kanye 2020 for an alleged breach of an oral or implied contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Court found that despite plaintiff’s lengthy complaint, it was deficient with regard to specific allegations of contract formation. The Court also found the plaintiff failed to sufficiently plead an agency relationship with the other defendants. Kanye 2020 was dismissed from the case, with the claims against the remaining defendants transferred to Arizona.
