However, the Court otherwise treats the Levin Plaintiffs motion as one for leave to file an amicus brief, and grants that request. The Court further finds that while the Levin action remains pending before this Court, the Levin Plaintiffs are not parties to these amended consolidated class actions. Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is directed to remove from the Levin docket, 12-cv-5696 docket, entries nos. 108, 110, 111, 112, 117, 118, 121, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 133, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, and 152. Finally, the Court finds that the Plaintiffs have satisfied the strict standard governing motions for reconsideration and reinstates Juras Section 349 claim and the Plaintiffs breach of contract claims. So Ordered by Judge Arthur D. Spatt on 4/21/2014. Associated Cases: 2:13-md-02451-ADS-AKT, 1:12-cv-06224-ADS-AKT, 2:12-cv-05696-ADS-AKT, 2:13-cv-03259-ADS-AKT (Coleman, Laurie)
