See Loreley Fin. (Jersey) No. 3 Ltd. v. Wells Fargo Sec., LLC, 797 F.3d 160, 190 (2d Cir, 2015) (leaving “unaltered the grounds on which denial of leave to amend has long been held proper, such as undue delay, bad faith, dilatory motive, and futility”); accord F5 Capital v. Pappas, 856 F.3d 61, 89-90 (2d Cir. 2017). The time to file opposing and reply papers shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Civil Rules, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. If plaintiff elects to file a second amended complaint, she must file the second amended complaint by no later than 14 days after notifying the Court of her intent to do so. Within 21 days of such amendment, defendants may either: (i) file an answer to the second amended complaint; or (ii) file a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint; or (iii) notify the Court by letter that they are relying on the initially filed motion to dismiss.
