Defendants' preclusion motion is granted in part and denied in part, and their motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim 53 is granted. In a c ase such as this, the Court would ordinarily dismiss with prejudice and deny leave to amend, since plaintiffs have made numerousamendments to this point. However, the Court is aware of the unique circumstances that give rise to this dismissal: the Co urt is dismissing a complaint filed prior to a change in the pleading standards on the basis of those new standards. Accordingly, in an abundance of caution the Courtdefers decision on whether to grant leave to amend to allow plaintiff an opportunity to propose curative amendments. Plaintiff has 30 days to so file. The Clerk is directed to close this case. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Holwell on 9/7/10) (djc)
