03/25/2015 82 ORDER denying 61 Motion to Dismiss; denying 63 Motion to Dismiss. Two motions to dismiss the amended complaint are sub Judice. The Supreme Court's decision in Omnicare, Inc. v. Laborers District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund, No. 13- 435 (Mar. 24, 2015), appears to place those motions in a light substantially different than previously. Moreover, plaintiff may wish to amend the complaint in light of Omnicare. Accordingly, 1. Plaintiff, if it wishes, on or before April 21, 2015, may file a second amended complaint, amending the existing complaint solely in light of Omnicare. 2. The pending motions to dismiss the amended complaint [DI 61, DI 63] are denied without prejudice as hereinafter set forth. 3. Regardless of whether plaintiff files a second amended complaint, defendants on or before May 21, 2015, may renew their motions to dismiss the operative complaint on the existing papers but shall file, in addition, a single consolidated memorandum addressing the sufficiency of the operative complaint in light

of Omnicare and any new complaint. Plaintiff may respond to that additional memorandum no later than June 18, 2015. Defendants may file a single consolidated reply memorandum no later than June 30, 2015. Neither defendants' nor plaintiff's initial memorandum shall exceed thirty pages. Any reply memorandum shall be limited to twelve pages. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 3/25/2015) (mro) (Entered: 03/25/2015)
