The Court notes that Plaintiff has already indicated that she does not wish to respond and would like to stand on her pleadings. However, because Plaintiff has not had an opportunity to respond to the motions to dismiss the amended complaint, in an abundance of caution, the Court will give Plaintiff 7 days to respond should she choose to do so.
