On January 14, 2016, Judge McBryde entered an Order (available here) that dismissed the first amended complaint filed by plaintiffs in a purported class action lawsuit against Texas Wesleyan and Texas A&M. Plaintiffs, graduates of Texas Wesleyan School of Law, graduated from law school prior to Texas A&M purchasing the assets of Texas Wesleyan School of Law from Texas Wesleyan in 2013.
“Plaintiffs allege that after A&M acquired the assets of TWU Law and began the operation of Texas A&M University School of Law, the A&M Defendants refused to recognize them as A&M Law graduates.” Apparently, the plaintiffs wanted to be able to list themselves as Texas A&M law graduates and have Texas A&M issue them new diplomas—i.e., “[a]t best, plaintiffs wish that Wesleyan Defendants had done something to assure that A&M would acknowledge them as graduates.”
Judge McBryde found that the first amended complaint failed to state a claim, and rejected all of the plaintiffs’ claims.
