On August 29, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint

Cook. He lodged a proposed Amended Complaint (Docket No. 24-1) making that

15(a)(2), “[t]he court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.”
It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint

ACCEPTED for filing as of the date of this minute order. It is further ORDERED that the
caption of this case be amended to identify the John Doe defendant as Daniel Cook.
