(“FAC”) on March 20, 2013 (Docket No. 214), defendants submitted

(Id. at 20 (emphasis
After plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint
(Docket No.
The court granted plaintiffs leave to amend to remedy
the deficiencies in the pleading of their existing claims, not
10
for the purpose of adding new claims.
Upon review of the FAC, it
11
is clear that plaintiffs have gone beyond that limited purpose.
12
Plaintiffs’ FAC is therefore hereby ordered STRICKEN,
13
and plaintiffs are given seven days from the date of this Order
14
to file an amended complaint consistent with this Order and the
15
court’s February 28, 2013 Order.
16
application to extend the trial date, dispositive motion cutoff,
17
discovery completion, and discovery motion dates is therefore
18
DENIED as moot.
