ORDER

16

Presently before the court is plaintiffs Trustees of the Operating Engineers Pension Trust, et.

17

al.’s motion to add Clear Diamond, LLC and Sequoia Construction, Inc. as defendants. (Doc. #15).

18

Defendants Sequoia Electric, LLC, et. al. filed a notice of non-opposition. (Doc. #16).

19

Local Rule 15-1(a) requires plaintiffs to submit a proposed amended complaint along with

20

the motion to amend. LR 15-1(a). Here, plaintiffs have failed to attach an amended complaint.

21

Instead, plaintiffs’ motion states that “[u]pon this [c]ourt’s granting for the [p]laintiffs’ motion,

22

[p]laintiffs’ counsel will also serve an original summons and complaint upon [the additional

23

defendants].” (Doc. #15). This procedure does not comport with the local rules.

24

Accordingly,
