ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S
MOTION TO DISMISS AS MOOT
[DOC. 8]
JOHN F. KELLY, et al.,
Defendant.

Pending before the Court is Defendant John F. Kelly’s Motion to Dismiss pursuant
17
18
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1), filed on June 2, 2017. [Doc. 8.]
19
On June 23, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint. [Doc. 10.] As this
20
was Plaintiffs’ first amendment, filed within 21 days of service of the Motion to Dismiss,
21
it was timely, and neither the opposing party’s written consent nor the Court’s leave was
22
required. (Certificate of Service [Doc. 9].) See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(b)–(a)(2).

“[A]fter amendment the original pleading no longer performs any function and is treated
24
thereafter as non-existent[.]” Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992), as
25
amended (May 22, 1992) (internal quotation omitted).
