ORDER FOR FURTHER BRIEFING
13
14
Earlier this year, the Court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims against a number of defendants for
15
lack of personal jurisdiction. The dismissals were without prejudice, and plaintiffs were given
16
leave to amend if they could allege facts showing that their claims arose out of defendants’
17
purposeful contacts with this forum. See, e.g., Dkt. # 153 at 5. The Court ultimately found that
18
plaintiffs’ amended jurisdictional allegations were still deficient and denied leave to amend.
19
Although the order should have stated that no further leave to amend would be granted, it instead
20
used the shorthand phrase “dismissed with prejudice.” Dkt. # 186 at 3.
21
Plaintiffs timely filed a motion for reconsideration, requesting that the order denying
22
leave to amend be modified to show that the dismissal remains without prejudice. The Court is
23
inclined to grant the request and therefore directs the Clerk of Court to renote “Plaintiffs’ Motion
24
to Modify Order Denying Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint” (Dkt. # 200) on the
25
Court’s calendar for Friday, September 1, 2017.
