REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

KAREN L. LITKOVITZ, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff initiated this employment discrimination action in February 2019, alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., 29 U.S.C. § 626, 42 U.S.C. § 1985, and state law. (Doc. 1). On July 3, 2019, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, to which defendants Trihealth G, LLC and Trihealth, Inc. filed a joint answer. (Docs. 8, 9). On September 24, 2019, defendants Trihealth G, LLC and Trihealth, Inc. filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. (Doc. 17). Thereafter, the Court granted plaintiff's motion to file a second amended complaint. (Doc. 26). On February 24, 2020, defendants Trihealth G, LLC and Trihealth Inc. filed an answer to the second amended complaint. (Doc. 30). Plaintiff's second amended complaint supersedes the first amended complaint and is the "legally operative complaint" in this matter. Scuba v. Wilkinson, No. 1:06-cv-160, 2006 WL 2794939, at *2 (S.D. Ohio Sept. 27, 2006) (citing Parry v. Mohawk Motors of Mich., Inc., 236 F.3d 299, 306 (6th Cir. 2000)).

Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED that defendants Trihealth G, LLC and Trihealth, Inc.'s motion for judgment on the pleadings (Doc. 17) be DENIED as MOOT.
