The Court finds that no claims were made to Plaintiff-in-Limitation’s complaint for exoneration from and/or limitation of liability within the time period set forth by the Court. Therefore, there are no remaining legally cognizable claims contesting Plaintiff-in-Limitation’s right to exoneration from liability. Thus, the Court finds that RKK INVESTMENTS LLC is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The Court further finds that any claims against Plaintiff-in-Limitation are neither permissible nor necessary. The Court further finds that pursuant to F.R.C.P.
