ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, DISTRICT JUDGE:
The plaintiffs are directed to file an amended complaint by February 13, 2024. Ms. Waheed may file an amended complaint on behalf of herself but not on behalf of The Seren Fashion Art and Interiors, LLC, which cannot appear in this Court without counsel. See Jones v. Niagara Frontier Transp. Auth., 722 F.2d 20, 22 (2d Cir. 1983).
The time for the defendant to move or answer with respect to the amended complaint is February 27, 2024. If the defendant files a motion to dismiss, the time for the plaintiff(s) to respond is March 12, 2024. The time for the defendant to reply is March 26, 2024. No pre-motion conference is needed before making a motion to dismiss.
Ms. Waheed may consider contacting the New York Legal Assistance Group's (NYLAG) Clinic for Pro Se Litigants in the Southern District of New York, which is a free legal clinic staffed by attorneys and paralegals to assist those who are representing themselves in civil lawsuits in this Court. The clinic is run by a private organization; it is not part of, or run by, the Court. An informational flyer regarding NYLAG is attached to this Order.
SO ORDERED.
