MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ motion1 to file a first amended
complaint. The Case Management Order permits amendment of the pleadings or joinder

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint

February 22, 2013, a revised amended complaint identical to Doc. No. 39, but using
initials to refer to minors rather than their full names and taking all appropriate measures
to maintain the confidentiality of the minor parties.
