JOHN HORAN,
Plaintiff,
v.
ANDREA CABRAL, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER ON PENDING MOTIONS
October 12, 2016
O’TOOLE, D.J.
This Order resolves certain pending motions.
The plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint (dkt. no. 25) is
GRANTED. Counsel should now file the document for which leave to file has been granted in
accordance with the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures. Counsel must include “Leave to file
granted on (date of order)” in the caption of the document.
In light of the allowance of the plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint, the defendants’
currently pending motions to dismiss (dkt. nos. 14 and 16) are MOOT.
The motion of defendants NaphCare, Inc. and Dr. James Cheverie to transfer this case for
the purpose of conducting a medical malpractice tribunal (dkt. no. 21) is DENIED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE. As a matter of case management, the Court will first address the federal
constitutional and statutory claims only.
It is SO ORDERED.

United States District Judge
