On March 31, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an

19
20

amended complaint. ECF No. 50. On April 21, 2016, plaintiff filed a second amended

21

complaint. ECF No. 57. On May 8, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion to amend the second amended

22

complaint to correct a factual error in paragraph eight and to plead additional jurisdictional facts.

23

ECF No. 64 at 2. Plaintiff notes that defendant Plano Insurance Group, Inc. had asked plaintiff to

24

make the correction and does not oppose the proposed amendment. Id.
A party may amend its pleading with the opposing party’s written consent or the

25
26

court’s leave. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Because leave to amend should be given freely under

27

Rule 15(a), and plaintiff has shown good cause, the court GRANTS plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff
