The Court will notify the parties by separate Order if the Court decides

11 to have a hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Amend and File Fifth Amended
12 Complaint, and if so, the date and time of such hearing. Alternatively, the Court
13 may decide to Order that Motion submitted without a hearing.

15 Amend and File Fifth Amended Complaint, Defendants may file a Motion to
16 Dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint or Fifth Amended Complaint (whichever
17 may be the operative complaint).

Any such motion may raise arguments that

18 Defendants raised but that the Court did not rule on in its October 16, 2013 Order,
19 Dkt. 71, or such arguments as may be warranted following the Court’s ruling on
20 Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Amend and File Fifth Amended Complaint.
21 Defendants shall notice any such motion for hearing under the Local Rules, and the
22 requirements of Local Rule 7-3 are excused for purposes of such Rule 12(b) motion.
