MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
BATAILLON, District Judge.
Introduction
This matter is before the court on defendants’ motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). Filing No. 22. Defendants contend that this case should be dismissed as the plaintiffs lack standing, the case lacks ripeness, and the cause of action for bill of attainder should be dismissed. I have carefully reviewed the record, briefs in support of and in opposition to the motion, and the relevant case law. I conclude that the motion to dismiss should be denied.
