MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s “Motion to Join Additional Parties to this Case per Fed. R. Civ.
P. 19 & 20" (ECF No. 40). The motion also seeks a dismissal of the action against two current
Defendants. Plaintiff’s motion further requests leave to pursue an amendment of his complaint
despite the passage of the deadline for adding parties or amending pleadings.
Plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 40) is GRANTED to the extent that leave is provided to file a
motion to amend after the expiration of the deadline. However, LR 15-1 requires any motion to
amend to be accompanied by a proposed amended pleading which is complete in and of itself.
Therefore, Plaintiff shall have seven (7) days from the date of this order in which to lodge a proposed
amended complaint. Defendants shall have seven (7) days within which to respond once Plaintiff
has lodged his proposed amendment. Plaintiff will have seven (7) days thereafter within which to
file a reply memorandum. The court will defer ruling on said motion until Defendants have had an
opportunity to respond and Plaintiff has replied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
