ORDER

Defendants.
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On March 10, 2024, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint under Rule 12 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under Rule 15(a)(l )(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
March 31, 2025. No further opportunities to amend will ordinarily be granted. If plaintiff does
amend, by April 21, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025. Defendants' reply, if any, shall be
served by April 14, 2025. 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, plaintiffs

opposition will be due 14 days thereafter, and defendants' reply, if any, will be due seven days
after that.

SO ORDERED.
