BLOCK, Senior District Judge:
Plaintiff ECP Property II LLC (“ECP”) moves for default judgment pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b), alleging the time for defendant’s response expired. Despite
the Clerk’s entry of default, ECP’s subsequent filing of an amended complaint, moots
the motion. It is well established that an amended pleading supersedes an original
1

pleading and renders it of no legal effect. See 6 Wright, Miller & Kane, Federal
Practice and Procedure § 1476 (2d ed. 2009) (“Once an amended pleading is
interposed, the original pleading no longer performs any function in the case and any
subsequent motion made by an opposing party should be directed at the amended
pleading.”). ECP’s motion is denied.

SO ORDERED.
