Subsequent to the filing of those motions, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, which is permitted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). It is well established that an amended complaint ordinarily supersedes the original, and renders it of no legal effect. Shields v. Citytrust Bancorp, Inc., 25 F.3d 1124, 1128 (2d Cir. 1994)(citation omitted). Because the original Complaint is no longer operative, the Defendants' Motions #6 , #14 to Dismiss the original Complaint are DENIED AS MOOT. The Defendants' request, made with the Plaintiff's consent, to extend the time to answer or otherwise move against the Amended Complaint until the later of either 2/19/16 or 30 days after all Defendants in this action have been served is GRANTED. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Frank P. Geraci, Jr. on 1/8/16.(SCE)
