VALERIE FIGUEREDO, United States Magistrate Judge: For the reasons stated at the telephonic status conference held before the Court on February 1, 2023, the Court hereby grants Plaintiff's request to submit an amended complaint (see ECF No. 34).

R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2); Sacerdote v. New York Univ., 9 F.4th 95, 115 (2d Cir. 2021) (“The period of ‘liberal’ amendment ends if the district court issues a scheduling order setting a date after which no amendment will be permitted.”’). Plaintiff's amended complaint is due by no later than Friday, March 17, 2023. As stated at the conference, the Court will not permit any extensions to this deadline. SO ORDERED.
