    Case: 25CI1:17-cv-00084-WAG Document #: 12 Filed: 03/13/2017 Page 1 of 11 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF HINDS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI JIM HOOD, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF PLAINTIFF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, ex rel. THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 17-84 MANAGEMENT & TRAINING DEFENDANTS CORPORATION; CHRISTOPHER B. EPPS; CECIL MCCRORY and DEFENDANTS DOES 1 through 5 ______________________________________________________________________________ MANAGEMENT & TRAINING CORPORATION'S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS ______________________________________________________________________________ Defendant Management & Training Corporation ("MTC") submits this memorandum in support of its Motion to Dismiss. As set forth below, multiple counts against MTC should be dismissed pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure. I. INTRODUCTION On February 8, 2017, the State of Mississippi initiated the present action against Defendants MTC, Christopher Epps, and Cecil McCrory. In the Complaint, the State makes serious and unfounded allegations against MTC. Specifically, the State alleges that MTC participated in a scheme with Epps and McCrory to defraud the State and obtain contracts to operate correctional facilities in Mississippi through bribery and fraud. MTC adamantly denies the State's allegations and intends to prove through the course of this action that it did not engage in any wrongdoing when entering into contracts with the Mississippi Department of Corrections and local correctional facility authorities. However, for purposes of this Motion to Dismiss, MTC must assume that the allegations against it are true (which they are not), and MTC will Case: 25CI1:17-cv-00084-WAG Document #: 12 Filed: 03/13/2017 Page 2 of 11 establish below that many of the State's claims are subject to dismissal pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.
