Before the Court is the parties’ joint Stipulation to Allow Plaintiff to File a Second
Amended Complaint (the “Stipulation”), in which the parties state that they stipulate to permit

18
Plaintiff to file an amended complaint and dismiss Defendant M Group Fitness, LLC. (Doc. 20 at
19
1–3.) As to the amendment, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) provides that, if a party may
20
21

not amend its pleading as a matter of course, “a party may amend its pleading only with the
opposing party’s written consent or the court’s leave.” Here, all of the remaining parties in this

22
case have provided written consent to permit amendment. (See Doc. 20 at 1–4.) As such, the
23

Court ORDERS that Plaintiff’s Second Amended Class Action Complaint, (see id. at 6–18), is

24
now the operative complaint in this action.
25
In the Stipulation, Plaintiffs and Defendant M Group Fitness, LLC also stipulate to the
26
dismissal of this Defendant without prejudice. (Id. at 3.) The Stipulation is signed by all parties
27
who have appeared in this action. (Id. at 3–4.) Defendant M Group Fitness, LLC is therefore
28

1 voluntarily dismissed from this case without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
2 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk to terminate M Group Fitness, LLC
3 as a defendant on the docket for this case.
