On January 26, 2017, however, Plaintiff filed an amended pleading. The Amended Complaint supersedes Plaintiff’s original pleading and renders it of no legal effect. See Davis v. TXO Prod.

Thus, all motions for dismissal directed at the Complaint are moot. Further, Defendant Power Partners, Inc.’s Motion to Transfer Venue Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) [Doc. No. 31] is presented only as an alternative to dismissal, based on the allegations of the original Complaint. The Court finds that this motion is premature at this time. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motions [Do. Nos. 15, 30 & 31] are DENIED without prejudice to resubmission, as appropriate, in response to the Amended Complaint.
