a
political

the State of Nebraska, DONALD
KLEINE, in his official capacity,
STUART DORNAN, in his official
capacity, JAMES JANSEN, in his
official capacity, LORETTA VONDRA,

Defendants.
This matter is before the court on the plaintiff’s Consolidated Motion for Leave to
Add/Substitute Parties and Amend Complaint (Filing No. 71). Civil Rules of the United
States District Court for the District of Nebraska 15.1(a) provides: “A party who moves
for leave to amend a pleading (including a request to add parties) must file as an
attachment to the motion an unsigned copy of the proposed amended pleading that
clearly identifies the proposed amendments.”

See NECivR 15.1(a) (emphasis

added). The plaintiff has failed to fully comply with NECivR 15.1(a). Accordingly, the
plaintiff shall file an amended motion clearly identifying the specific amendments in an
attached unsigned copy of the proposed amended complaint. See id. The plaintiff shall
bold the proposed amendments. The plaintiff shall also state whether the motion is
opposed. See id. If the plaintiff’s motion is opposed, the plaintiff shall also comply with
the briefing requirements in NECivR 7.1(a)(1). Upon consideration,

IT IS ORDERED:
1.

The plaintiff’s Consolidated Motion for Leave to Add/Substitute Parties and

Amend Complaint (Filing No. 71) is held in abeyance pending compliance with NECivR
15.1(a) and/or NECivR 7.1(a)(1). The plaintiff shall have to on or before June 24, 2013,

to file the amended motion as described above. Otherwise, the plaintiff’s motion will be
deemed abandoned and denied.
2.

If opposed, the defendants shall have ten (10) business days after the

plaintiff’s amended motion is filed to file any opposition. The plaintiff shall have five (5)
business days thereafter to file a reply.

Dated this 11th day of June, 2013.
