IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 15-cv-01637-PAB
GALEN AASLAND,
Plaintiff,
v.
SALOMON HAMUI-SUTTON,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Judge Philip A. Brimmer
This matter is before the Court on the Response to August 5, 2015 Court Order
and Motion to Amend Complaint and Jury Demand [Docket No. 5] filed by plaintiff
Galen Aasland. On August 5, 2015, the Court ordered plaintiff to, on or before August
19, 2015, provide additional information regarding the citizenship of defendant. Plaintiff
states that, upon additional investigation, defendant does not own property in Colorado,
was driving a rented vehicle at the time of the incident giving rise to this case, and
provided a Mexico address and driver’s license to authorities. Docket No. 5 at 1-2.
Such information is sufficient to discharge plaintiff’s obligation to provide additional
information regarding the citizenship of defendant.
As to plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint, there is no indication that
plaintiff has served defendant with the complaint. Thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
15(a)(1), it would appear that plaintiff is entitled to file an amended complaint as a
matter of course. However, to whatever extent leave of the Court is required, plaintiff’s
request to file an amended complaint is granted.
DATED August 13, 2015.
