Case No. 2:09-cv-00559-RLH-GWF
ORDER
City Defendant’s Motion to Strike
Plaintiff’s Notice Positively
Identifying Defendant “Jane Doe”
and “C. Polinkenker” (#83)

This matter is before the Court on the City Defendants’ Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Notice

15

Positively Identifying Defendant “Jane Doe” and “C. Polinkenker” (#83), filed on August 25, 2011.

16

On August 12, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Notice Positively Identifying Defendant “Jane Doe” and “C.

17

Polinkenker” (#76). Plaintiff requests the Court strike this document for failure to comply with

18

Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2).

19

On July 28, 2011, the Court entered an order striking a nearly identical notice document

20

filed by the Plaintiff and instructing him that he must seek leave from the Court to amend his

21

complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 15. Making any technical change concerning a party’s

22

name is properly accomplished by amending the complaint pursuant to Rule 15(a), not by filing a

23

notice with the Court. Accordingly,
