In February 2024, the case of Charles Asubonten v. Susan Webber was dismissed due to a failure to provide proper service. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated and highly skilled legal team at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca, based in Washington DC, with Mike Smith (now retired) guiding our defense.
<p>We would like to remind everyone of the earlier request regarding the ongoing cases, including <strong>Charles Asubonten v. Aurora Advisors Incorporated and Susan Webber</strong>:</p>

<p>The Cuneo Memorandum in Support of Motion to Dismiss Amended Complaint provides insight into the case without the need to read every document. It summarizes the core arguments presented in the subsequent Aurora litigation in Maryland. However, the Asubonten filings against Aurora include more detailed factual assertions and legal citations, which may be of interest to those with a legal background who seek deeper understanding.</p>
