Case No.: 1:17-cv-01383-AWI-BAM
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO FILE A FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
(Doc. 20)

14

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Homer Harris’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion for leave to

15

file a First Amended Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). (Doc. 20). The Court deems the

16

matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument. See E.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 230(g). Through the

17

motion, Plaintiff seeks to add Freedom Mortgage Corporation as a Plaintiff beneficiary and add

18

additional causes of action. Defendants Athene Annuity and Life Assurance Company and Protective

19

Life Insurance Company (collectively, “Defendants”) filed a statement of non-opposition to this

20

motion. (Doc. 21).

21

Given the non-opposition, and good cause appearing, Plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED. In

22

order to clarify the record, Plaintiff shall file his First Amended Complaint, attached as Exhibit A to

23

the Motion, as a separate entry on the docket, within seven (7) calendar days of the date this Order is

24

filed.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
