Therefore, the court ORDERS that the motions to dismiss [ECF Nos. 18, 23] are GRANTED in part to the extent the moving defendants seek dismissal and DENIED in part insofar as defendants seek dismissal with prejudice. The court ORDERS that the TSL and Bard are dismissed without prejudice. No other defendants remain and the case is stricken from the docket and closed.
