complaint did not include any new factual allegations but instead incorporated the legal

arguments that plaintiffs asserted in their opposition to the other defendants’ motions to dismiss. 

The order granting the remaining defendants’ motions to dismiss allowed plaintiffs to seek

leave to file a third amended complaint. The deadline for any such motion was DECEMBER 28,

2015. No motion was filed.

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the orders granting defendants’ motions to

dismiss, plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint is DENIED. The

hearing scheduled for JANUARY 14 is hereby VACATED. This case is over as to defendants

Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc., Nyk Line (North America), Nissan North America, Inc., Toyota

Motor Sales, Inc., Hitachi America, Ltd., Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal U.S.A., and

Mitsubishi Corporation (America).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
