Plaintiffs,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

v.

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO AMEND

12
13

ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.,
Defendant.

16

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend has been

17

submitted without oral argument. In light of the liberal policy favoring amendment, and given no

18

showing of prejudice or undue delay to an extent that would warrant denial, the motion will be

19

granted. Nothing in this order, however, or in the filing of the amended complaint, shall serve to

20

revive the statutory claims as to which partial summary judgment in favor of defendant has been

21

granted. Nor does this order preclude defendant from moving to dismiss or strike portions of the

22

amended pleading, although it presently appears likely that defendant’s contentions regarding the

23

alleged class definitions could be more efficiently addressed in any renewed motion for class

24

certification, rather than through a motion to strike. Discovery will not be reopened absent a

25

specific and compelling showing, made by noticed motion, that any of the amendments warrant

26

further discovery.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
