Description

Plaintiffs-Appellants Ann Mergens, individually, and as Trustee for the Ann M. Mergens Revocable Trust, Mary Mergens Loughran, and Paul Mergens ("Mergenses") appeal the district court's order granting the Defendants-Appellees Alex W. Dreyfoos, Jr., Photo Electronics Corporation, Carolyn B. Dreyfoos, D.E. Murray, Photo Electronics Company, L.P., and Freedom Communications, Inc. ("Dreyfoos") motion for judgment on the pleadings. Based on a thorough review of the pleadings, briefs and record, we conclude that the Mergens federal securities fraud and common law fraud claims are barred by the general release and merger clause. Similarly, the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs-Appellants' remaining common law breach of fiduciary duty claim and dismissing it without prejudice. Accordingly, we affirm.
