does amend, by October 10, 2024, 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 September 19, 2024. Defendants’ reply, if any, shall be
served by October 3, 2024. 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.
