Plaintiffs,

ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT AND
VACATING MOTION HEARING

In this wrongful-death action involving asbestos, plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion for

15

leave to file a first amended complaint. No one has filed an opposition to the motion even

16

though the deadline for filing an opposition has elapsed. Many defendants have filed statements

17

of non-opposition (Case No. 15-241, Dkt. Nos. 32, 34–38, 41, 43, 53, 60; Case No. 15-274,

18

Dkt. Nos. 45–50, 52). Indeed, six defendants stated “no objection” to the proposed amendment

19

before plaintiffs filed the instant motion (Morton Decl. ¶ 12). Since plaintiffs’ motion is

20

unopposed, leave is granted when justice so requires under Rule 15(a), and the initial case

21

management conference is scheduled for March 26, the motion is hereby GRANTED. The motion

22

hearing at 8:00 a.m. is hereby VACATED. The initial case management conference is hereby

23

moved to 11:00 A.M. ON MARCH 26. A joint case management statement is due by

24

MARCH 19 AT NOON.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: March 3, 2015.
