Motion Hearing

District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered.At the hearing and in its Notice to the Court, Doc. No. 58, Plaintiff requests leave to amend its complaint in light of additional documents it recently received pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Act. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court raised the possibility rather than now resolving the pending Motions, allowing Plaintiff to amend its Complaint, terminating as moot the Motions to Dismiss, and permitting Defendants to file new motions to dismiss either with new briefs or supported by their existing briefs (but not both) to challenge the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff's counsel assented to this process. Defendants requested the Court resolve the pending Motions, but otherwise did not object to the procedure proposed. After due reflection, the Court ALLOWS Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint, terminates the pending Motions to Dismiss, Doc. Nos. 33, 42, as moot in light of the anticipated Amended Complaint and directs the parties to file within seven days a proposed schedule to govern the filing of the Amended Complaint and the anticipated motions to dismiss. The Court suggests that Plaintiff file one consolidated memo in opposition to the anticipated motions and similarly suggests that Defendants endeavor to coordinate their filings to avoid duplicative arguments.
