REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Before this court1 is defendant Oxford Immunotec Global PLC's ("Oxford") motion to dismiss, filed on November 27, 2017. (Action 1, 17-cv-2299-SHM-tmp, ECF No. 33.) In this motion, Oxford requests that the court dismiss plaintiff Monica Hickman's second amended complaint for failing to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8, 10, and 12. (Id.) Hickman filed a response on December 27, 2017, in which she moved that the court allow her to amend her complaint, for a third time, so that she might bring it into compliance with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Action 1, ECF No. 34.) On January 18, 2018, the undersigned granted Hickman leave to file the proposed third amended complaint.

As the third amended complaint will supersede the second amended complaint, the undersigned recommends that the court deny Oxford's pending motion based on the second amended complaint as moot and without prejudice. See Greenwood v. City of Memphis, No. 14-2442-JDT-TMP, 2014 WL 4966324, at *2 (W.D. Tenn. Oct. 2, 2014) (citing B & H Med., L.L.C. v. ABP Admin., Inc., 526 F.3d 257, 267 n. 8 (6th Cir. 2008)) (other citations omitted). If appropriate, Oxford may renew its motion after Hickman files her amended complaint.
