Case 9:11-cv-00072-SEH Document 112 Filed 11/30/11 Page 1 of 4
COME NOW the Plaintiffs and move this Court for an order granting leave,
pursuant to Rule 15, F.R.Civ.P., to file a Fourth Amended Complaint for Class
Action with Demand for Jury Trial and to drop Michele Reinhart as a party
Plaintiff and to add George and Susie Pfau as party Plaintiffs, pursuant to Rule 21,
F.R.Civ.P.
The purposes for which Plaintiffs move the Court for an order granting
leave to file the Fourth Amended Complaint are as follows:
1. To change the definition of the class to include those purchasers of
the two books in the U.S., excluding Montana Federal Judges and their immediate
family members.
2. To drop Plaintiff, Michele Reinhart, as a party Plaintiff and to add
George and Susie Pfau as party Plaintiffs.
3. Further investigation into this case has allowed Plaintiffs to discover
they have claims against Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin (Relin), Penguin
Group (USA), Inc. (Penguin), Central Asia Institute (CAI) and MC Consulting,
Inc. (MC), for RICO violations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) and (d). Counts I
and II of the Fourth Amended Complaint set forth these claims based on RICO
violations. This further investigation has reflected that CAI was a participant in
the enterprise which committed the RICO violations and that CAI should be a
party Defendant in this case, not for the original reason brought by Jean Price, a
donor, but because of CAI’s involvement in the RICO violations as a member of
the enterprise. The RICO violations create federal question jurisdiction for this
Court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, in addition to federal question jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d), the class action federal question. Furthermore, the
RICO claims, predicated on mail fraud and wire fraud, do not require that every
purchaser who is a member of the class specifically rely on the enterprise’s mail
fraud and wire fraud.

Case 9:11-cv-00072-SEH Document 112 Filed 11/30/11 Page 2 of 4
4. Further investigation has shown the involvement of CAI in Plaintiffs’
fraud claim (Count V), deceit claim (Count VI), unjust enrichment claim (Count
VII), accounting and injunctive relief claim (Count XI), and the class action
allegations (Count XII) and, therefore, it is necessary to add CAI as a party
Defendant in such Counts.
Plaintiffs’ counsel requested all defense counsel to consent to the filing of
an amended complaint to change the definition of the class. This occurred in
Judge Molloy’s courtroom on September 16, 2011. Counsel for all Defendants
steadfastly refused to so consent. Therefore, Plaintiffs have complied with L.R.
7.1(c)(1). In addition, Plaintiffs’ counsel sent a copy of the proposed Fourth
Amended Complaint to Defendants’ counsel requesting their consent. They did
not consent, claiming they needed more time, even though they had already
refused to consent earlier. In any event, time is of the essence in order to
accommodate Michele Reinhart’s decision to be dropped as a party Plaintiff and to
add George and Susie Pfau as replacement party Plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amended Complaint for Class Action and Demand for
Jury Trial is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. This Motion has been supported by a
brief filed herewith.
DATED this 30th
day of November, 2011.

  • 2. COME NOW the Plaintiffs and move this Court for an order granting leave, pursuant to Rule 15, F.R.Civ.P., to file a Fourth Amended Complaint for Class Action with Demand for Jury Trial and to drop Michele Reinhart as a party Plaintiff and to add George and Susie Pfau as party Plaintiffs, pursuant to Rule 21, F.R.Civ.P. The purposes for which Plaintiffs move the Court for an order granting leave to file the Fourth Amended Complaint are as follows: 1. To change the definition of the class to include those purchasers of the two books in the U.S., excluding Montana Federal Judges and their immediate family members. 2. To drop Plaintiff, Michele Reinhart, as a party Plaintiff and to add George and Susie Pfau as party Plaintiffs. 3. Further investigation into this case has allowed Plaintiffs to discover they have claims against Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin (Relin), Penguin Group (USA), Inc. (Penguin), Central Asia Institute (CAI) and MC Consulting, Inc. (MC), for RICO violations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) and (d). Counts I and II of the Fourth Amended Complaint set forth these claims based on RICO violations. This further investigation has reflected that CAI was a participant in the enterprise which committed the RICO violations and that CAI should be a party Defendant in this case, not for the original reason brought by Jean Price, a donor, but because of CAI’s involvement in the RICO violations as a member of the enterprise. The RICO violations create federal question jurisdiction for this Court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, in addition to federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d), the class action federal question. Furthermore, the RICO claims, predicated on mail fraud and wire fraud, do not require that every purchaser who is a member of the class specifically rely on the enterprise’s mail fraud and wire fraud. -2- Case 9:11-cv-00072-SEH Document 112 Filed 11/30/11 Page 2 of 4
  • 3. 4. Further investigation has shown the involvement of CAI in Plaintiffs’ fraud claim (Count V), deceit claim (Count VI), unjust enrichment claim (Count VII), accounting and injunctive relief claim (Count XI), and the class action allegations (Count XII) and, therefore, it is necessary to add CAI as a party Defendant in such Counts. Plaintiffs’ counsel requested all defense counsel to consent to the filing of an amended complaint to change the definition of the class. This occurred in Judge Molloy’s courtroom on September 16, 2011. Counsel for all Defendants steadfastly refused to so consent. Therefore, Plaintiffs have complied with L.R. 7.1(c)(1). In addition, Plaintiffs’ counsel sent a copy of the proposed Fourth Amended Complaint to Defendants’ counsel requesting their consent. They did not consent, claiming they needed more time, even though they had already refused to consent earlier. In any event, time is of the essence in order to accommodate Michele Reinhart’s decision to be dropped as a party Plaintiff and to add George and Susie Pfau as replacement party Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amended Complaint for Class Action and Demand for Jury Trial is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. This Motion has been supported by a brief filed herewith. DATED this 30th day of November, 2011.
