Case No. 1:11-CV-825
Judge Dan Aaron Polster
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

On August 26, 2011, Defendant Cleveland Clinic filed a Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 5)
Plaintiff Theresa M. Hare’s complaint. On November 29, 2011, Plaintiff filed, with the Court’s
permission, an Amended Complaint (Doc. # 10). An amended complaint supersedes the original
complaint and becomes the operative pleading, making a motion to dismiss the original
complaint moot. Ky. Press Ass'n v. State, 355 F. Supp. 2d 853, 857 (E.D. Ky. 2005) (citing
Parry v. Mohawk Motors of Mich., Inc., 236 F.3d 299, 306 (6th Cir. 2000)). Accordingly,
Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 5) is hereby denied as moot.
That being said, since the Court previously ordered that all deadlines be tolled
indefinitely, Defendant need not respond to Plaintiff’s amended complaint at this time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
