IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
LISA SIMPSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 22–cv–00483–JPG–1

REVCO SOLUTIONS, INC.,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Revco Solutions, Inc. (“Revco” or
“Defendant”) Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint. (Doc. 33). Plaintiff Lisa
Simpson (“Plaintiff” or “Simpson”) opposes the motion. (Doc. 34).
On December 12, 2022, the Court granted Revco’s Motion to Dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6)
and dismissed Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (Doc. 32). Then, without requesting leave from
the Court, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint against Revco. As Defendant does not
consent to Plaintiff's request, Plaintiff must seek to amend her complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 15(a)(2), which allows a party to “amend its pleading only with ... the court's leave.” Here,
Defendant does not consent to the amendment. Additionally, Plaintiff did not seek leave from the
Court before filing its Second Amended Complaint. Plaintiff’s opposition is not responsive to the
reasons in Defendant’s Motion to Strike.
Therefore, the Court GRANTS Defendant’s Motion to Strike (Doc. 33) and DIRECTS
the Clerk of the Court to STRIKE Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint (Doc. 32).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 17, 2023
