CINCINNATI — Larry Flynt’s attorney Amanda Lenhart filed a brief this week with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts in support of a motion to dismiss Jimmy Flynt’s lawsuit against his brother.
According to a story reported on www.xbiz.com, Larry Flynt’s reply brief stated that “plaintiffs have not managed to articulate a plausible claim for relief against the Larry Flynt defendants. Instead, Plaintiff’s brief rehashes the same vague allegations… the only notable additions are the countless instances of unsupported speculation and gross misstatements of fact.”
The brief went on to say that Jimmy Flynt was not Larry’s partner no much how he wishes otherwise. Larry Flynt’s contended all along that his brother had always been an employee and not a business partner. Larry Flynt also denies Jimmy Flynt’s allegations that they had an agreement in 1970 to develop a string of clubs.
“He [Jimmy] never put a penny in any business I ever had,” stated Flynt. “Not one plug nickel.”
Larry Flynt’s brief also went on to support the motion to dismiss by stating that Jimmy Flynt had no right of ownership in his salary and benefits after he was terminated.
“It cannot be reasonably argued that an employee, once fired, has an ownership right in any future salary of benefits,” it further states.
In addition, the brief also says that the court should dismiss the claims against Larry Flynt because it lacks personal jurisdiction over the non-Ohio Larry Flynt defendants and that there can be no reasonable dispute that California is a far more convenient forum than Ohio.
