Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs amendment of the
pleadings should the plaintiff discover additional parties against whom she wishes
to assert claims. Plaintiff is further advised that the Court allows a reasonable
period of time to add parties and amend the pleadings once the discovery process
begins.
