Moonlight Investments, Ltd., a shareholder of a Maryland corporation known as Key Energy Services, Inc., brought this suit on behalf of Key Energy against various board members, officers, and auditors of the corporation. Those sued were Francis D. John, Richard J. Alario, James J. Byerlotzer, Royce W. Mitchell, Kevin P. Collins, W. Phillip Marcum, Ralph S. Michael III, and KPMG LLP. Key Energy was named as a nominal defendant. Key Energy and two other defendants filed motions to dismiss. The trial court granted the motions and ordered that the case be "DISMISSED in its entirety without prejudice." Moonlight appeals. We reverse and remand.
