Notes

The Court previously granted in part and held in abeyance in part the defendant‘s motion to dismiss pending the plaintiffs advising the Court of their position on whether this case should be dismissed without prejudice or transferred directly to another venue. See Order at 1 (Jun. 16, 2025), ECF No. 33. Now that the plaintiffs have opted to have the Court transfer this case to the Southern District of Florida, the remainder of the defendant‘s motion is denied without prejudice, which the defendant may renew upon the transfer of this case, should it deem it appropriate to do so.
