21 Civ. 8824 (PAE)
ORDER

Defendants.
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On January 7, 2022, defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint under Rule 12 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), a plaintiff has 21 days after the
service of a motion under Rule 12(b) to amend the complaint once as a matter of course.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff shall file any amended complaint by
January 28, 2022. No further opportunities to amend will ordinarily be granted. If plaintiff does
amend, by February 18, 2022, defendants shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to
dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court, copying plaintiff, stating that they rely on the
previously filed motion to dismiss. 1
It is further ORDERED that if no amended complaint is filed, plaintiff shall serve any
opposition to the motion to dismiss by January 28, 2022. Defendants’ reply, if any, shall be
served by February 11, 2022. At the time any reply is served, the moving party shall supply the
Court with two (2) courtesy copies of all motion papers by mailing or delivering them to the
Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York 10007.

1

If defendants file a new motion to dismiss or rely on their previous motion, plaintiff’s
opposition will be due 14 days thereafter, and defendants’ reply, if any, will be due seven days
after that.
