May 31, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ORDER: On May 29, 2019, Defendants Richard Carranza and New York City Department of Education filed a motion to dismiss. See Dkt. No. 19. Pursuant to Rule 3.F of this Court's Individual Practices in Civil Cases, on or before June 10, 2019, Plaintiff must notify the Court and its adversary in writing whether (1) it intends to file an amended pleading and when it will do so or (2) it will rely on the pleading being attacked. Plaintiff is on notice that declining to amend its pleadings to timely respond to a fully briefed argument in the Defendant's May 29 motion to dismiss may well constitute a waiver of the Plaintiffs right to use the amendment process to cure any defects that have been made apparent by the Defendant's briefing. See Loreley Fin. (Jersey) No. 3 Ltd v. Wells Fargo Sec., LLC., 797 F.3d 160 (2d Cir. 2015) (leaving "unaltered the grounds on which denial of leave to amend has long been held proper, such as undue delay, bad faith, dilatory motive, and futility"). If Plaintiff chooses to amend, Defendant may then (a) file an answer; (b) file a new motion to dismiss; or (c) submit a letter stating that it relies on the initially-filed motion to dismiss. Nothing in this Order alters the time to amend, answer or move provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or Local Rules. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/31/2019) (kv)
