NYC Green Transportation Group, LLC* (Case No. 1:23-cv-05445, E.D.N.Y.) was resolved\u2014or at least what the court decided as of *February 3, 2025*. ([leagle.com](https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20250204e46?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Background\n\n- Plaintiff: A. Rum Kim, originally from South Korea. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Defendants: NYC Green Transportation Group LLC; NuRide Transportation Group LLC; and their managing members, Anthony G. Parrizzi and Nadim Ahmed. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n- What happened:  \n  \u2022 Defendants recruited Kim in 2018 to invest **$500,000** through their EB-5 investor program (plus a $20,000 administrative fee), promising she could apply for permanent residence. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 If her visa petition (*I-526*) was denied, Defendants promised to refund the investment within 90 days and to remove her from LLC membership; also, that the company had sufficient assets or collateral to do so. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 Her petition *was* denied in September 2022; she requested the refund, but Defendants claimed the investment was gone and could not be returned. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What the Court Ruled\n\nOn a motion to dismiss filed by the Defendants, the court made the following decisions:\n\n1. **Motions under Rule 12(b)(1)** (subject matter jurisdiction) were **denied**. Diversity jurisdiction was found to exist. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n   \n   - Although Defendants argued that Kim\u2019s LLC membership would defeat full diversity (since an LLC must take the citizenship of all its members), the court found her membership ended when her petition was denied. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Amount in controversy exceeded $75,000. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **12(b)(7) motion** (failure to join a necessary party): Denied. The court found no outside parties whose absence would prevent complete relief, create inconsistent obligations, or who claimed an interest in the case that would be impaired. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **12(b)(6) motions** (failure to state a claim):\n\n   - Claims 1\u20133 (including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud/deceit/misrepresentation) survived\u2014i.e., they were *not dismissed*. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Claims 4\u20137 were **dismissed**. These included civil conspiracy, conversion, and similar claims. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s Next?\n\n- The case **was not fully resolved** as of that decision. The court did *not* grant summary judgment or trial\u2014just matters of jurisdiction and some pre-trial dismissals. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Plaintiff can proceed on several core claims (breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; fraud), and those will likely move forward through discovery and potentially trial. ([docs.justia.com](https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407/35/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can check whether there has been a more recent ruling\u2014summary judgment, settlement, or trial outcome\u2014after February 2025. Would you like me to do that?"

        "content": "Here\u2019s what I found regarding newer developments in *Kim v. NYC Green Transportation Group LLC* (No. 1:23-cv-05445), and when the case was first filed.\n\n---\n\n## Filing Date\n\n- The case was first filed on **July 18, 2023** in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. ([dockets.justia.com](https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407?utm_source=openai))  \n- An amended complaint followed soon after\u2014one week later. ([dockets.justia.com](https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Latest Update / Resolution as of Feb. 3, 2025\n\n- On **February 3, 2025**, Judge Frederic Block issued a *Memorandum and Order* on defendants\u2019 motions to dismiss. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n- The ruling addressed three main motions:\n  1. **Rule 12(b)(1)** (lack of subject matter jurisdiction) \u2014 motion denied. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n  2. **Rule 12(b)(7)** (failure to join a necessary party) \u2014 motion denied. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n  3. **Rule 12(b)(6)** (failure to state a claim) \u2014 for claims 1-3, motion denied; for claims 4-7, motion granted. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- As a result:  \n  \u2022 The plaintiff, A. Rum Kim, may proceed with claims of **breach of contract**, **breach of fiduciary duty**, and **fraud (misrepresentation etc.)** (claims 1-3). ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 Claims such as civil conspiracy and conversion (claims 4-7) have been dismissed. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Any Developments After February 3, 2025?\n\n- **No publicly documented final judgment, settlement, or trial outcome** has emerged after the February 2025 ruling up to my most recent search. The record in sources like Justia, Casemine, and Law360 shows no further decisions or dispositions beyond the motion-to-dismiss order. ([dockets.justia.com](https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nyedce/1%3A2023cv05445/500407?utm_source=openai))  \n- Thus, the case remains active, proceeding past litigation of the pleadings. The claims that survived are likely heading into **discovery**, possible **motions for summary judgment**, or prep for trial. ([casemine.com](https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/67a339ee2738e4136478043d/amp?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to pull the PACER docket and see if there\u2019s any sealed or recently filed documents that aren\u2019t in publicly indexed sources yet."
