August 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 27 ORDER: In light of recent Second Circuit opinions, the parties are directed to advise the Court whether they consent for the Court to deem the briefing as set forth in the June 22 Order as a fully briefed motion and rule on the basis of the limited briefs, or whether the parties request supplemental or full briefing on Charming Beats' motion.

App'x 69, 70 (2d Cir. 2019) (affirming the district court ruling deeming an exchange of letters as fully submitted motion), but if further briefing becomes necessary the Court will direct the parties to file additional material.
