The arguable change in relevant authority constitutes good cause for this otherwise belated motion to file an amended complaint in the absence of any "bad faith" or "dilatory motive." Ruotolo v. City of N.Y., 514 F.3d 184, 191 (2d Cir. 2008) (internal citations omitted). The motion to amend is granted. No additional discovery other than that which has been previously ordered will be permitted. There will be no changes allowed to alter the present trial status.
Conclusion
The motion for leave to amend the complaint is granted.
It is so ordered. New York, NY
