No. 4:11-CV-2082-JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon its review of the record. On May 3, 2012, Plaintiff
filed an “Amended Complaint.” [ECF No. 29] Rule 15(a), Fed.R.Civ.P., governs the pretrial
amendment of pleadings and states that where an amendment is not sought “as a matter of
course” as defined by the Rule, “a party may amend its pleadings only with the opposing party's
written consent or the court's leave.” Because Plaintiff did not seek leave of court before filing
his amendment, the Court will strike the pleading in its entirety.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint [ECF No. 29] is
stricken.
Dated the 9th day of May, 2012.
