ORDER FOR FURTHER BRIEFING

13
14

On July 31, 2017, the Court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims against defendant Imerys Talc

15

America, Inc., for lack of personal jurisdiction. Although the order should have stated that no

16

further leave to amend would be granted, it instead used the shorthand phrase “dismissed with

17

prejudice.” Dkt. # 188 at 5.

18

Plaintiffs timely filed a motion for reconsideration, requesting that the order of dismissal

19

be modified to show that the dismissal is without prejudice. The Court is inclined to grant the

20

request and therefore directs the Clerk of Court to renote “Plaintiffs’ Motion to Modify Order

21

Dismissing Defendant Imerys Talc America, Inc., ‘With Prejudice’ Based on a Jurisdictional

22

Defect” (Dkt. # 202) on the Court’s calendar for Friday, September 1, 2017.

23

Dated this 17th day of August, 2017.
