ORDER DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS (Dkt. 11) WITHOUT PREJUDICE
MARK A. GOLDSMITH UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Defendant filed a motion to dismiss in the above-captioned action on August 20, 2024 (Dkt. 11). The motion raised an issue regarding, among other things, a purported insufficiency of the pleadings under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009).
The Court issued an Order allowing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint in light of Defendant's motion. See 9/3/24 Order (Dkt. 14). Without expressing any view of the merits of the motion to dismiss, the Court stated that “[i]f Plaintiff timely files an amended complaint, the Court will deny without prejudice the currently pending motion to dismiss as moot.” Id. at 2.
On September 10, 2024, Plaintiff timely filed an amended complaint (Dkt. 15). Accordingly, the Court denies without prejudice Defendant's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 11). Defendant shall file their response to the amended complaint on or before October 3, 2024. If Defendant files a motion in response to the amended complaint, the briefing schedule set forth in Local Rule 7.1(e) shall apply.
SO ORDERED.
