MOTION TO DISMISS OF DEFENDANTS
SONER TARIM AND UNITY SCHOOL SERVICES, LLC
COME NOW Defendants Soner Tarim and UnitySchool Services, LLC (collectively, “these
Defendants”), and pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) and 12(b)(7) of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure,
move this Court to dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint in its entirety, and as grounds, state as follows:
1. Plaintiffs’ Complaint includes four claims: (1) Defendants misrepresented and failed
to discloseto theAlabamaPublicCharterSchool Commission (“theCommission”)and theAlabama
State Department of Education (“ALSDE”) the extent of these Defendants’ involvement with
Woodland Preparatory charter school in Washington County, Alabama (“Woodland Prep”); (2)
Defendants misrepresented that there was significant communityinterest in openingacharter school
in Washington County, Alabama; (3) Defendants have advertised outside the State of Alabama to
students in Mississippi; and (4) as a result of the foregoing claims, Defendants have been improperly
authorized by the Commission, and Woodland Prep should be barred from receiving state funding
from ALSDE.
2. This Court has no subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ claims.

4. 3. Plaintiffs failed to follow the procedures set forth in the Alabama Administrative
Procedures Act (“AAPA”), and the matters set forth in the Complaint do not fall into any exceptions
to the requirements to strictly adhere to such procedures. Ex parte Alabama Pub. Charter Sch.
Comm’n, No. 2170150, ___ So.3d ___, 2018 WL 301330 at *1 (Ala. Civ. App. Jan. 5, 2018), LEAD
Education Foundation v. Alabama Education Association, No. 1170706, ___ So.3d ___, 2019 WL
1090680 at *5 (Ala. Mar. 8, 2019).
4. All Plaintiffs’ claims, to the extent they should have been brought at all, should have
been brought first to the attention of the Commission. Plaintiffs failed to intervene, failed to seek
rehearing or reconsideration, failed to timely appeal from the Commission’s decision, and failed to
provide proper notice of the intent to seek judicial review, all as required under the AAPA.
5. Plaintiffslackstanding(astaxpayers orotherwise)to pursuetheirclaims against these
Defendants, as they have shown no actual, real or tangible injury, no causal connection between the
injury claimed and the conduct complained of, and cannot show that their concerns could be
redressed, even by a favorable decision from this Court.
6. Plaintiffs’ claims are non-justiciable, in that they ask the Court to make declarations
regarding issues that are now moot, are abstract and not capable of redress, or which constitute an
advisory opinion.
7. Plaintiffs have failed to join indispensable parties to this litigation, to wit, the
members of the Commission and the State Superintendent of ALSDE, in that they seek to undo the
decision of the Commission to grant a Charter to Woodland Prep and they seek to bar Woodland
Prep from receiving state funds. Because Plaintiffs have failed to join these indispensable parties,
the declaration and equitable relief they seek is void, and their suit is due to be dismissed.

5. 8. These Defendants adopt in full the Motion to Dismiss previously filed by the
remaining Defendants to this suit, incorporating as if fully set forth herein the terms thereof, to the
extent applicable and appropriate to the interests of these Defendants.
WHEREFORE, in light of the foregoing, these Defendants request that this Court will
DISMISS Plaintiffs’ claims in their entirety.
Respectfully submitted on this 9th
day of September, 2019.
