On June 1, 2000, the court dismissed the complaint in its entirety on grounds that the applicable statute of limitations had passed prior to the date on which the complaint was filed.

The complaint charges Coinmach and certain officers with violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as well as Rule 10b-5.
