TIMOTHY MORRIS, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION [26] TO AMEND COMPLAINT
This matter comes before the court on the motion [26] by the plaintiff to amend his complaint.
A “court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)).
Although not automatic, the decision to grant or deny such leave is within the sound discretion of the
district court. Bloom v. Bexar County, Texas, 130 F.3d 722, 727 (5th Cir. 1997), Halbert v. City of
Sherman, 33 F.3d 526, 529 (5th Cir. 1994). The motion [26] is well taken and is GRANTED. The
instant complaint is deemed amended as of the date the instant motion was filed.
SO ORDERED, this, the 16th day of July, 2021.
