Date Filed Document Text
March 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 110 OPINION AND ORDER re: #99 MOTION to Dismiss . filed by Gerald L. Storch, Alan J. Lacy, Matthew W. Emmens, Dinesh C. Paliwal, Peter J. Arduini, Michael Grobstein, Samit Hirawat, Karen M. Santiago, Vicki L. Sato, Theodore R. Samuels, David V. Elkins, Charles Bancroft, Robert Bertolini, Giovanni Caforio, Karen H. Vousden, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. For the foregoing reasons, Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED and Plaintiffs' claims are dismissed. That leaves only the question of whether Plaintiffs should be granted leave to amend the Complaint. Leave to amend a complaint should be freely given "when justice so requires," Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), and complaints dismissed under the PSLRA "are almost always dismissed with leave to amend," Pasternack v. Shrader, 863 F.3d 162, 175 (2d Cir. 2017) (internal quotation marks omitted). That said, "[w]here it appears that granting leave to amend is unlikely to be productive,... it is not an abuse of discretion to deny leave to amend." Ruffolo v. Oppenheimer & Co., 987 F.2d 129, 131 (2d Cir. 1993). Applying the foregoing standards, the Court denies leave to amend Plaintiffs' Securities Act and Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-9 claims because it is "unlikely to be productive." Id. By contrast, and notwithstanding the fact that Plaintiffs do not request leave to amend, the Court grants Plaintiffs leave to amend to address the deficiencies identified in their other claims. See, e.g., Loreley Fin. (Jersey) No. 3 Ltd., 797 F.3d at 190-91. Plaintiffs shall file any Second Amended Complaint within thirty days of the date of this Opinion and Order. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 99. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 3/1/23) (yv)

December 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 71 ORDER, Plaintiff's counsel notified the Court that the required notice was published on October 6, 2021. ECF No. 70.

To access the conference, counsel should call 888-363-4749 and use access code 5421540#. Members of the press and public may call the same number, but will not be permitted to speak during the conference.
