Case No. 4:17-CV-767 NAB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File First Amended
Complaint. [Doc. 16.] A party may amend its pleadings only with the opposing party’s written
consent or the court’s leave if more than 21 days have passed since service of the complaint or a
responsive pleading. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). The Court should freely give leave when justice so
requires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). The Case Management Order of April 25, 2017 set a July 28,
2017 deadline for filing amended pleadings or joining additional parties. Plaintiffs’ motion is
timely filed. Plaintiffs seek to amend the complaint to add the name of the defendant previously
identified with a pseudonym as Officer John Doe 1. Therefore, the Court will grant Plaintiff’s
Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File First Amended
Complaint is GRANTED. [Doc. 16.]
Dated this 5th day of June, 2017.
