seen the order issued probably a week and a half ago or so. I
09:23:02
14
wanted to have everyone in to see that we are on the same
09:23:08
15
page.
09:23:08
16
Right now there is not an operative complaint and the
09:23:10
17
plaintiff needs to refile addressing the jurisdictional issues
09:23:14
18
that were identified in the court's previous order. Once we
09:23:20
19
get that on file, depending on where that is, obviously you
09:23:28
20
will need to respond, and I would anticipate a further motion
09:23:30
21
to dismiss that complaint. Along with whatever other
09:23:40
22
arguments you're going to make, you should address the
09:23:44
23
adequacy of the jurisdictional allegations from the
09:23:48
24
defendants' perspectives.

going forward at this stage, and this will in no way prejudice
09:24:10

either side's ability to conduct discovery, assuming that
09:24:12

there is an operative complaint going forward.
