Doc. 67

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Louis Vuitton Malletier, S.A., v. Plaintiff, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION NO. C 07-03952 JW ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF LEAVE TO FILE A FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT; DENYING THE PARTIES' STIPULATION TO CONTINUE THE PRELIMINARY PRETRIAL CONFERENCE / Luis Vuitton Malletier, S.A. ("Plaintiff") brings this action against Akonoc Solutions, Managed Solutions Group, and Steven Chen (collectively, "Defendants") for alleged trademark infringement. Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File a First Amended Complaint. (hereafter, "Motion," Docket Item No. 64.) Due to the Court's unavailability, the motion is noticed for a hearing on September 8, 2008; thus, Defendants' obligation to file their opposition is not yet due. Plaintiff's proposed amendment modifies a single paragraph in the Complaint; the modification merely adds the names of the web sites alleged to have sold infringing products. (Motion, Ex. A.) Since the proposed amendment does not modify any substantive allegations or add additional parties, the Court finds good cause to GRANT Plaintiff leave to amend without further briefing or a hearing. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). On or before August 4, 2008, Plaintiff shall file its Amended Complaint as a separate docket entry.
