ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Case Caption [#15]1
(the “Motion”). Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint [#7] named “CenturyLink” as the
Defendant in the caption, but identified the party as “Defendant CenturyLink, Inc.”
throughout the First Amended Complaint. Compare First Am. Compl. [#7] at 1 with id. ¶¶
2-3, 6, 8. Defendant’s Answer identified Defendant as “CenturyLink, Inc.” Answer [#13]
¶ 1. In the Motion, which is unopposed, Plaintiff asks the Court to correct the caption to
reflect that the name of Defendant is CenturyLink, Inc. It is clear from the pleadings that
omission of the corporate designation of Defendant in the caption of the First Amended
Complaint was a typographical error. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#15] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the caption of the case shall be amended to identify
Defendant as CenturyLink, Inc., as is indicated above.
