yet issued an order.

On December 2, 2005, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend its complaint and to

remand, which is presently noticed for hearing on January 6, 2006. However, the Court has not

yet determined whether it has personal jurisdiction over Defendants, and thus is not yet in a

position to hear these motions. Accordingly, on its own motion, the Court will reschedule the

hearing date for Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend its complaint and to remand to February 3,

2006. Defendants shall file opposition to Plaintiff’s motion no later than 10 days after the Court

issues an order on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, to transfer for improper venue, or to transfer

venue for convenience.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
