ORDER

On March 9, 2020, defendants George Murdoch, FOX Corporation, John Finley, Monica Mekeel, and Jennifer Rauchet filed a motion to dismiss the complaint under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), a plaintiff has 21 days after the service of a motion under Rule 12(b) to amend the complaint once as a matter of course.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff shall file any amended complaint by March 30, 2020. No further opportunities to amend will ordinarily be granted. If plaintiff does amend, by April 20, 2020, defendants shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court, copying plaintiff, stating that they rely on the previously filed motion to dismiss.1

It is further ORDERED that if no amended complaint is filed, plaintiff shall serve any opposition to the motion to dismiss by March 30, 2020. Defendants' reply, if any, shall be served by April 6, 2020. At the time any reply is served, the moving party shall supply the Court with two (2) courtesy copies of all motion papers by mailing or delivering them to the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York 10007.

SO ORDERED.
