On September 30, 1996, Magistrate Judge Levy issued a Memorandum and Order, granting in part and denying in part plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint. Plaintiffs were allowed to substitute executors for the two deceased plaintiffs and were allowed to relinquish their claim under the Martin Act.
