Accordingly, the Second Amended Complaint (Doc. #11 ) is hereby STRICKEN from the docket, subject to being refiled in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15.In view of Plaintiff's intent to amend her complaint, and Defendant's intent to file a motion to compel arbitration directed to that pleading, as stated in the parties' joint scheduling report (see Doc. #9 ), the Scheduling Conference set for June 8, 2021, is hereby CONTINUED to December 9, 2021, at 9:45 A.M. before the undersigned.
