Richard W. Cohen, Lowey Dannenberg Bemporad & Selinger, P.C., White Plains, N.Y. (Stephen Lowey, Peter D. St. Phillip, Jr., Lowey Dannenberg Bemporad & Selinger, P.C., White Plains, NY; Mark D. Fischer, Mark M. Sandmann, Rawlings & Assocs., Louisville, KY, on the brief), for Plaintiffs-Appellants.

Before: LEVAL, CALABRESI, and KATZMANN, Circuit Judges.


CALABRESI, Circuit Judge.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Kaplan, J.) granted Defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), and Plaintiffs appeal. Because Plaintiffs' suit involves claims of damages that were caused directly by Defendants' alleged fraud, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
