On June 11, 2010, defendants Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. and Iovate Health Sciences

U.S.A., Inc. timely filed a Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b).1

 

On July 15, 2010, attorneys for plaintiff Jonathan Boose filed an Amended and Restated

Complaint without leave of court. The parties have now stipulated and agreed that the Plaintiff

shall be deemed to have had leave of court and to have timely filed his amended complaint. 

In furtherance of their agreement, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Deem Plaintiff’s Amended

and Restated Complaint Timely Filed (“Joint Motion).2

Upon review of the papers submitted by the parties, the Court hereby orders as follows:

1. The Joint Motion is GRANTED.

2. The Plaintiff shall be deemed to have had leave of court to amend his complaint.

3. The Amended and Restated Complaint filed by Plaintiff Jonathan Boose on July

15, 2010 shall be deemed timely filed. 

4. The deadline for Defendants to move, answer or otherwise respond to the

Amended and Restated Complaint shall be extended up to and including August 6, 2010.

5. It is further ordered that the pending Motion to Dismiss [09md2087 - Docket Entry

243] is DENIED as moot since the original complaint will no longer be the operative complaint

and Plaintiff has filed his Amended and Restated Complaint in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: July 22, 2010
