March 18, 2022 Filing 19 FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT amending #1 Complaint against Kenneth Gerstenfeld, Kenco Realty Management Corp., JRG Realty Corp., 1340 Hudson Realty Corp., University Venture Corp., Dakota Holdings LLC, 655 West Associates LLC.Document filed by Vimary Ginorio. Related document: #1 Complaint..(Spasojevich, Lawrence)
March 18, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS AND GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND re: #11 FIRST MOTION to Amend/Correct #9 MOTION to Dismiss . and Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to F.R.C.P 12(b)(1). filed by Vimary Ginorio, #9 MOTION to Dismiss . filed by Kenco Realty Management Corp., Kenneth Gerstenfeld. In light of Defendants' assertions and evidence about Kenco Realty's gross revenues, Plaintiff proposes to amend her complaint to allege that Defendant Gerstenfeld's various enterprises constitute a "single enterprise" for FLSA purposes. As part of her opposition to the motion to dismiss, she seeks leave to amend and attached a proposed complaint. Plaintiff does not need to move for leave to amend her complaint to assert her joint enterprise claim. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(l) gives her the right to amend as a matter of course (i.e., without leave of the court) within "21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b)... " Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(l)(B). Having filed an amended complaint within 21 days after service of Defendants' motion pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1)-albeit as an exhibit to her opposition to that motion - the court is obliged to allow the amendment, and I do. Plaintiff should detach her proposed complaint from her motion papers and file it separately as the First Amended Complaint. I have no doubt where we are headed - straight into a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment on the ground that the various Gerstenfeld entities cannot be deemed a "single enterprise" under the familiar formula for determining that question. See Gordon v. Gen. Prop. Mgmt. Assocs., Inc., 496 F. Supp. 3d 830, 838 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 22, 2020). To that end, the parties are directed to appear for a scheduling conference on Tuesday, March 29 at 10:00AM, by telephone at 1 (888) 363-4749, Access Code: 9054506. The motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is denied; the motion for leave to amend is granted, although it was not necessary. The clerk is directed to close the motions at docket numbers 9 and 11. This constitutes a written opinion. (Telephone Conference set for 3/29/2022 at 10:00 AM before Judge Colleen McMahon.)
