MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: Mary Harris v. Lawrence Hogan, et al.
Civil No. JFM-13-2579
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with plaintiff’s motion for leave
to file amended complaint.
Plaintiff’s motion (document 49) is granted. However, I will permit no further discovery.
It appears that plaintiff’s amendment of the complaint may be futile but I would prefer to decide
the issues pertaining to the naming of the new defendants by way of a motion to dismiss.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.
Very truly yours,
/s/

J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
