order Order on Motion to Dismiss Thu 03/14 9:36 AM
TEXT ORDER - This matter comes now before the court upon defendant's motion to dismiss. DE 9 . As a general rule, 'an amended pleading ordinarily supersedes the original and renders it of no legal effect." Young v. City of Mount Ranier, 238 F.3d 567, 573 (4th Cir. 2001) (internal quotations omitted); see also 6 Charles Alan Wright, et al., Fed. Prac. & Proc. § 1476 (3d ed. 1998) ("A pleading that has been amended under Rule 15(a) supersedes the pleading it modifies and remains in effect throughout the action unless it subsequently is modified.... Once an amended pleading is interposed, the original pleading no longer performs any function in the case"). Where plaintiff amended his complaint as of right after defendant filed the instant motion, said motion, (DE 9), is DENIED as MOOT. Signed by District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan on 3/14/2024.

TEXT ORDER - Ordinarily at this juncture the court would trigger the parties' scheduling conference activities, and deadline for provision of their joint report and plan through issuance of initial order regarding planning and scheduling. Where defendant has filed a motion to dismiss, good cause appears to delay these activities. Unless a party raises objection in filing due within 14 days from this date, the court stays the parties' scheduling conference activities pending decision on motion filed 2/20/24. Signed by District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan on 2/23/2024. (Collins, S)
