`
`
`
`
`
`Defendants do not agree with the factual and jurisdictional allegations in
`
`Plaintiffs’ proposed second amended complaint (“PSAC”). Nor do Defendants
`
`believe that any of the causes of action in the PSAC have merit. Indeed, Defendants
`
`have concurrently filed an opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion to remand and intend to
`
`move to dismiss several of the claims in the PSAC. Nonetheless, Defendants have
`
`elected to not oppose Plaintiffs’ request to file the PSAC. In doing so, Defendants
`
`expressly reserve their rights to challenge the allegations and claims in the PSAC.
