ANDREW
 L. CARTER, JR., United States District Judge: 
On January 20, 2026, Defendant Instagram, LLC filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff Isa 
Bako’s Complaint. ECF No. 7. At this time, Defendant’s Motion is denied without prejudice. Per 
the Court’s Individual Practices, a letter requesting a pre-motion conference must be filed prior to 
filing a motion to dismiss. This is particularly important for ensuring due process when the 
plaintiff is a pro se litigant, as is the case here. 
SO ORDERED.
