If Plaintiff does amend, by three (3) weeks after the amended complaint is filed, Defendants shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) file a letter on ECF stating that it relies on the previously filed motion to dismiss.

If no amended complaint is filed, Plaintiff shall serve any opposition to the motion to dismiss by June 9, 2023. Defendants' replies, if any, shall be served by June 23, 2023.
