Case No.: 1:17-cv-0924 - LJO – JLT
ORDER APPROVING THE STIPULATION OF
THE PARTIES TO PERMIT PLAINTIFFS TO
AMEND THE COMPLAINT AND DIRECTING
PLAINTIFFS TO FILE AN AMENDED
COMPLAINT

16
17

The parties have stipulated to permit Plaintiffs to amend the complaint, noting that Cesar

18

Vilorio is a lawful heir to the decedent and he may assert a cause of action under California Code of

19

Civil Procedure § 377.60. (Doc. 13 at 3) Because Plaintiffs “have a mandatory duty to join all known

20

heirs in a single action,” they seek to “nam[e] Cesar Vilorio as a nominal defendant under California

21

Code of Civil Procedure § 382.” (Id.) Based upon the stipulation of the parties, the Court ORDERS:

22

1.

Plaintiffs’ request to amend the complaint is GRANTED; and

23

2.

Plaintiffs SHALL file an amended complaint, including Caesar Vilorio as a nominal
defendant, no later than November 27, 2017.
