quiet its title to all said real estate against the claims of each and all of the Defendants. Any
claim or pretension of any estate, right, title, or interest in or to, or lien upon, the premises hereinabove described, or any portion thereof, adverse to the PLAINTIFF, by any of the Defendants herein named or designated or by any person claiming by, through or under the Defendants or any of them, is without foundation or right, either in law or in equity.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, MORE THAN DIRT LLC, prays for the establishment in the

PARCEL1, against the adverse claims of the Defendants, and each of them, and everyone claiming by, though, or under them, and that the Defendants and each of them, and everyone claiming by, though, or under them be barred and forever estopped from having or claiming any lien upon, or any right, title or interest in or to the said real estate adverse to the PLAINTIFF and that the title of the PLAINTIFF thereto in fee simple be forever quieted and set at rest.
The PLAINTIFF further prays that it be permitted to have service by publication upon the
Defendants upon whom personal service cannot be obtained; and for such other and further relief as the PLAINTIFF may be entitled to in the premises.
