The derivative claims that were asserted against the individual defendants on behalf of the condominium's unit owners are dismissed. It is undisputed that plaintiff has standing to pursue the direct claims in this matter based on a proper assignment of all litigation claims against defendants by his wife, the unit owner. However, neither the assignment, nor any other instrument, transferred to him the membership interest in the condominium that is required for the assertion of derivative claims on behalf of the unit owners.
