O R D E R
This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 8] and
Defendant’s Motion to Enforce [Doc. No. 9] filed on October 20, 2025. On October 30,
2025, 	Plaintiffs 	filed 	an 	Amended 	Complaint 	[Doc. 	No. 	30]. 	“The 	[A]mended
[C]omplaint, 	as 	the 	operative 	complaint, 	supersedes 	the 	original 	complaint’s
allegations[.]” 	May v. Segovia, 929 F.3d 1223, 1229 (10th Cir. 2019). 	Thus, those
allegations are of “no legal effect.” Davis v. TXO Prod. Corp., 929 F.2d 1515, 1517 (10th
Cir. 1991) (quoting Int’l Controls Corp. v. Vesco, 556 F.2d 665, 668 (2d Cir. 1977)).
Therefore, Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 8] and Motion to Enforce [Doc. No.
9] are DENIED AS MOOT.1
1 Plaintiffs filed Notices asserting that no response is necessary to Defendant’s Motions because
they are moot in light of the Amended Complaint. See [Doc. Nos. 11 and 12]. Plaintiffs further
state that the Motion to Enforce is moot because the Amended Complaint “does not contain any
claims arising under state law which were allegedly released by the claimed settlement
agreements.” [Doc. No. 12]. Although the Court denies Defendant’s Motion to Enforce as moot,
the parties should not construe this Order as agreeing with Plaintiffs’ statement or characterization
of the claims. Defendant may refile its motions pursuant to the applicable rules, if necessary.
