On August 22, 2025, the Plaintiff filed a Complaint herein, followed by the filing of an Amended Complaint on October 24, 2025. See ECF Nos. 1 and 5.

On November 13, 2025, the Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint the “SAC“). See ECF No. 8.

Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a “party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course” within specific time frames. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). Further amendment, however, may only be done with the opposing party‘s written consent or with leave of court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2).
