JOHN P. CRONAN, United States District Judge: The Court has received the pro se Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss. See Dkt. 55 (“Opposition”). By July 24, 2023, Plaintiff shall file a letter with the Court addressing whether she received any legal assistance in drafting either the Second Amended Complaint, Dkt. 36, or the Opposition. If Plaintiff did receive assistance, the letter shall explain who she received assistance from, on which documents she received the assistance, and whether she received assistance on all or only portions of the documents. Plaintiff shall not otherwise disclose any details of any assistance that she has received, or any legal advice that she has received. The Court notes that there is nothing improper about a pro se plaintiff receiving legal assistance in drafting either document. Whether a pro se plaintiff received assistance does, however, affect how the Court construes the Second Amended Complaint and Opposition. See Bizelia v. Clinton Towers Housing Co., No. 20 Civ. 8065 (JPC), 2022 WL 1747763, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. May 31, 2022); Silver v. Lavandeira, No. 08 Civ. 6522 (JSR) (DF), 2009 WL 513031, at *2 n.2 (S.D.N.Y.
