Registration Services Inc. moved to dismiss all claims against them

a plaintiff may only amend as a matter of course within twenty-one

days of service of the 12(b) motion. Because the instant motion

was served prior to the effective date of the amendment, the court

uses the former rule. However, the court notes that if the new

rule applied, plaintiffs’ amendment would be untimely.

2

It appears that many of the arguments raised in the motions

to dismiss and to strike portions of the initial complaint may also

apply to the amended complaint. Nonetheless, the court declines

to address this issue without briefing directly on point from

either party. 

Accordingly, the pending motions, Doc. No 9, are DENIED

WITHOUT PREJUDICE as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 4, 2010.
