OPINION AND ORDER re: 114 MOTION to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. filed by Howard A. Zucker, Samuel D. Roberts, Darlene Oto, 119 MOTION to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint. filed by Joan Silvestri. For the r easons stated above, both Motions are granted in full, and all claims are dismissed. As Maione and Ostler's claims are barred by res judicata, these claims are (again) dismissed with prejudice. 7 W. 57th St. Realty Co., LLC v. Citigroup, In c., 314 F. Supp. 3d 497, 519 (S.D.N.Y. 2018) ("Because [the] [p]laintiffs...claims are barred by resjudicata, leave to amend these claims will be denied." (footnote and italics omitted)), afj'd, 771 F. App'x 498 (2d Cir. 2019), cert. denied, 140 S. Ct. 71 (2019); see also Cuoco v. Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000) (explaining that a district court may deny leave to amend when amendment would be futile because the problems with a plaintiffs claims are "subst antive," and "better pleading will not cure" them). However, because this is the first adjudication on the merits of the Children's claims, dismissal of their claims is without prejudice. Plaintiffs may therefore file a second a mended complaint to resolve the defects in the Children's claims identified in this Opinion & Order. If Plaintiffs wish to file such a second amended complaint, they must do so in 30 days. Plaintiffs are advised that the second amended compl aint will replace, not supplement, the Amended Complaint. The second amended complaint must contain all of the claims, defendants, factual allegations, and exhibits that Plaintiffs wish the Court to consider. If Plaintiffs fail to timely file a se cond amended complaint, the Court may convert the dismissal without prejudice to dismissal with prejudice. The Clerk is respectfully directed to terminate the pending Motions, (Dkt. Nos. 114, 119). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 9/24/2020) (jca)
