ORDER GRANTING IN PART DEFENDANTS NEXTERA ENERGY, INC.'S AND HAMAKUA ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.'S MOTIONS TO DISMISS, ECF NOS. 73 & 95, WITH LEAVE TO AMEND. Excerpt of conclusion:"The Motions to Dismiss are GRANTED as to Counts One and Two, and those claims are DISMISSED without prejudice.

A Second Amended Complaint (or a statement indicating that a Second Amended Complaint will not be filed) is due by January 29, 2018. Signed by CHIEF JUDGE J. MICHAEL SEABRIGHT on 12/19/2017.
