ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO AMEND COMPLAINT

Defendants.

Before the Court is Plaintiff Terrance Davis’s (“Davis”) motion for leave to file an

11

amended complaint. (ECF No. 48.) In the motion, Davis seeks to amend his complaint to

12

add defendants Warden Patricia Hernandez and Warden Tesheena Cooke. (Id. at 2.)

13

Pursuant to Local Rule 7-2(a), all motions “must be supported by a memorandum

14

of points and authorities.” “The failure of a moving party to file points and authorities in

15

support of the motion constitutes a consent to the denial of the motion.” L.R. 7-2(d). Here,

16

Davis has not provided points and authorities that explain why additional defendants

17

should be joined under the corresponding rules of Civil Procedure and what facts support

18

their addition to the case. Therefore, Davis’s motion for leave to amend his complaint,

19

(ECF No. 48), is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. However, pursuant to the Court’s

20

Scheduling Order, (ECF No. 43), Davis is permitted to re-file a properly supported motion

21

for leave to file an amended complaint, which must include points and authorities that

22

support amending his complaint, for the Court’s consideration by no later than Monday,

23

January 13, 2025.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
