to grant Plaintiff leave to amend his complaint, and Plaintiff presents no reasons to justify such a grant. The Court will strike Plaintiff's amended complaint if it is filed.

Plaintiff is granted fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order in which to file objections to the Court's September 30, 2009, Findings and Recommendations; and 2. Plaintiff's motion for permission to file an amended complaint, filed on July 2, 2009, is denied. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: 3b142a
