ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint (Doc. No. 207) and the related briefs and exhibits. For good cause shown, the Court will grant the Plaintiffs' motion. It is well-settled that an amended pleading supersedes the pleading it modifies, and that motions directed at superseded pleadings are to be denied as moot. See Young v. City of Mount Ranier, 238 F.3d 567, 573 (4th Cir. 2001) (amended pleading renders original pleading of no legal effect). As the Defendants' pending Motion for Summary Judgment on Statute of Limitations

No. 166) and Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to File Sur-Reply Brief in Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. No. 211) are DENIED as moot.
