ORDER
JOHN P. CRONAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court previously stayed the briefing schedule for Defendant Amy Roy-Haeger's anticipated motion to dismiss the Complaint in Stevens v. Hanke, No. 20 Civ. 8181 (JPC) (“Stevens Action”), pending resolution of Roy-Haeger's motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction or to transfer venue in Al Thani v. Hanke, No. 20 Civ. 4765 (JPC) (“Al Thani Action”). Stevens Action, Dkt. 51 at 1. On February 17, 2022, the Court denied Roy-Haeger's motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction or to transfer venue in the Al Thani Action. Al Thani Action, Dkt. 254.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that Roy-Haeger shall advise the Court by March 3, 2022 whether she intends to pursue a motion to dismiss the Complaint in the Stevens Action. As previously emphasized by the Court in its prior Order, Roy-Haeger is reminded that the Court “will not allow parties to relitigate identical arguments raised in a Motion to Dismiss filed in [the Stevens Action] if those arguments have been made by a Defendant and rejected in the [Al Thani Action].” Stevens Action, Dkt. 51 at 2. If Roy-Haeger does intend to proceed with briefing on her motion to dismiss the Complaint in the Stevens Action, she shall meet and confer with counsel for Plaintiff Martin John Stevens and shall include a proposed briefing schedule in her March 3, 2022 letter. If Roy-Haeger does not intend to move to dismiss the Complaint in the Stevens Action, Roy-Haeger shall file her answer to the Complaint by the March 3, 2022 deadline.
SO ORDERED.
