All of Plaintiff's claims except for his procedural due process cl aim based on his termination without a prior hearing are dismissed. However, because this is the first adjudication of Plaintiff's claims on the merits, the dismissal is without prejudice. See Terry v. Inc. Vil/. of Patchogue, 826 F.3d 631, 63 3 (2d Cir. 2016) (explaining that "district judges should, as a general matter, liberally permit pro se litigants to amend their pleadings" unless "amendment would be futile"). Should Plaintiff choose to file a third amended com plaint, he must do so within 30 days of this Opinion, addressing the deficiencies identified herein.

If Plaintiff fails to abide by the 30-day deadline, this actio n will proceed solely on Plaintiff's procedural due process claim.
