ORDER
v.
12
No. CV-13-00019-TUC-JGZ (JR)
Bank of America NA,
13
Defendant.
14
15
Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by United States
16
Magistrate Judge Jacqueline M. Rateau that recommends denying Plaintiffs’ Motion to
17
Amend Complaint. (Docs. 80 and 105.) Plaintiffs filed their objections to the R&R on
18
May 20, 2014 (doc. 110), and Defendant filed a response. (Doc. 115.) As thoroughly
19
explained by Magistrate Judge Rateau, Plaintiffs’ motion seeking to add a negligence
20
claim at the close of discovery, if granted, would cause undue delay and unfairly
21
prejudice to Defendant.1 See Johnson v. Buckley, 356 F.3d 1067, 1077 (9th Cir. 2004).
22
Because Plaintiffs fail to explain their undue delay in bringing the negligence claim and
23
24
25
also fail to undermine the analysis and proper conclusion reached by Magistrate Judge
Rateau, the objections are rejected, and the Report and Recommendation is adopted.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
26
1
27
28
Plaintiffs also re-raised a harassment claim that was previously withdrawn.
Although Plaintiffs indicate in their objections that this was done in error, they do not
formally move to withdraw this claim. (Doc. 110, p. 2.) Moreover, Defendant alleges
that in addition to the new claims, Plaintiffs have also alleged new medical conditions
that would require additional discovery. (Doc. 115, p. 3.)
1
(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 105) is accepted and adopted;
2
(2) Plaintiffs’ Motion to Amend Complaint (Doc. 80) is denied; and
3
(3) This Case remains referred to the Honorable Jacqueline M. Rateau for all pre-trial
4
matters, and pleadings shall be filed under CV-13-00019-TUC-JGZ (JR).
