The public docket in Kathrine Nichols’s federal lawsuit against the Kingston Group(
_Nichols v. Kingston_, No. 2:25-cv-00051, U.S. District Court for the District of
Utah) shows several new filings since our last update. For each of them, only the
type of filing and the date are public so far; the documents’ text is not yet publicly
available.

## Court order on the earlier motions

On August 20, 2026, the court entered an order addressing the motion to amend the
complaint and three motions to dismiss (Dkt. 77). The order’s text is not yet publicly
available, so we can’t yet report how the court ruled.

Our October 2026 update described the motions to dismiss (Dkt. 60–62) and the request
for permission to file a second amended complaint (Dkt. 73) as pending. This August
20 order addresses those motions.

## New motions

Since that order, the docket shows these filings:

 * September 14, 2026: two motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim (Dkt.
   101, 102).
 * October 7, 2026: a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim (Dkt. 123).
 * October 13, 2026: a motion to quash (Dkt. 125).
 * November 2, 2026: four motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim, one of
   which also asks the court to strike material (Dkt. 136–139).

The text of these motions is not yet publicly available, so we can’t yet report 
what they argue. We will post an update when it is. No court has decided the allegations,
and the defendants have the right to contest every claim.
