Plaintiff Godfrey O. Mere filed suit on March 9, 2017, ECF No. 1. On May 1, 2017,

18 Defendant Las Vegas Operations, LLC, d/b/a Life Care Center of Las Vegas, filed its Partial
19 Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 7. A corrected image of Defendant’s Partial Motion to Dismiss was
20 filed May 5, 2017, ECF No. 10, which identified the proper name for Defendant.
21

The parties’ counsel agreed to file a stipulation and order to dismiss the Plaintiff’s Third

22 and Fourth Causes of Action in his Complaint, ECF No. 1, and to properly identify Defendant and
23 amend the caption as such. However, due to technological issues, Defendant’s counsel did not
24 receive the proposed stipulation from Plaintiff’s counsel. On May 15, 2017, Plaintiff’s counsel
25 instead filed a Non-Opposition to the Partial Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 12, and an Amended
26 Complaint, ECF No. 11.
