EDWARD PINCOVER, Plaintiff, v. JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., JPMORGAN CHASE & CO., KEY BANK, TD BANK, N.A., WELLS FARGO, PNC BANK, Defendants.
ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On June 24, 2021, defendant Wells Fargo filed a motion to dismiss the complaint under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), a plaintiff has 21 days after the service of a motion under Rule 12(b) to amend the complaint once as a matter of course.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff shall file any amended complaint by July 15, 2021. No further opportunities to amend will ordinarily be granted. If plaintiff does amend, by August 5, 2021, defendant shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court, copying plaintiff, stating that they rely on the previously filed motion to dismiss
If defendant files a new motion to dismiss or rely on their previous motion, plaintiffs opposition will be due 14 days thereafter, and defendant's reply, if any, will be due seven days after that.
It is further ORDERED that if no amended complaint is filed, plaintiff shall serve any opposition to the motion to dismiss by July 15, 2021. Defendant's reply, if any, shall be served by July 29, 2021. At the time any reply is served, the moving party shall supply the Court with a courtesy copy of all motion papers by attaching them as PDF files to a single email addressed to EngelmayerNYSD Chambers@ny sd. uscourts. gov.
The Court will determine later, after receipt of plaintiffs anticipated brief opposing a motion to dismiss the current or amended complaint, whether to schedule oral argument.
SO ORDERED.
