The court granted D.A. Pope's motion to dismiss BDS's third-party complaint, finding that BDS's claims against D.A. Pope (negligence, nuisance, implied indemnity) are not derivative of the employment-related claims brought by the plaintiffs against BDS and therefore cannot be asserted in a third-party complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 14(a)(1).
