15 Civ. 9755 (LGS)
ORDER

LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, on July 30, 2020, the Second Circuit reversed the Order at Dkt. 101 granting
leave to amend the complaint. See Dkt. No. 133. The Second Circuit held that “Plaintiffs’ effort
to amend their complaint is futile, because any such international norm prohibiting terrorist
financing cannot support a cause of action for the harm allegedly suffered by Plaintiffs.” Id. It is
hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint accordingly is DENIED as
futile.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to close the case.
