No. 4:16CV239 HEA

OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended
complaint. The motion is denied.
To obtain leave to file an amended complaint, “a party must submit the proposed
amendment along with its motion.” Clayton v. White Hall School Dist., 778 F.2d 457, 460 (8th
Cir. 1985); see Wolgin v. Simon, 722 F.2d 389, 395 (8th Cir. 1983) (“Absent some indication as
to what might be added to the complaint to make it viable, the [moving party] is not entitled to
leave to amend.”). Plaintiff has not submitted a proposed amendment.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant’s motion for leave to file an amended
complaint [ECF No. 10] is DENIED without prejudice.
Dated this 16th day of May, 2016.

HENRY EDWARD AUTREY
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
