Judgment was issued on April 9, 2018, as the docket reflected Plaintiff had failed to file an

11 amended complaint within the time requirements set by the Court's March 13, 2018, order. However,
12 due to clerical mistake, the Plaintiff's amended complaint was timely filed on April 6, 2018, 1 but not
13 docketed until after the order of judgment was signed on April 9, 2018. As a result, the Court's
14 judgment was issued in error, and the judgment is vacated pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
15 60(b)(1).
16

As such, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the April 9, 2018, judgment is VACATED, and the

17 Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to reopen this case. A response deadline to the amended complaint shall
18 be calculated from the date of this order.
