“It’s important to note that this class action suit has already been dismissed, and this latest activity is nothing more than a last-ditch effort to try to resurrect that suit,” Chipotle representative Chris Arnold told Benzinga.

Arnold claimed that an earlier investigation of outbreaks by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was ultimately inconclusive.

The outbreaks in question were said to have arisen between 2014 and 2015, and the CDC only reported six in the latter half of 2015. The Center has been reviewing the recent court filing but declined to comment on findings.

At time of publication, Chipotle was trading down 2 percent at a rate of $273.61.
