CASE NO. 1:18-CV-722

OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Doc. 6]

JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
On April 26, 2018, Plaintiff International Union of Operating Engineers filed a first amended
complaint challenging an arbitration award.1 Because Plaintiff filed an amended complaint 21 days
after Defendant Ohio Contractors Association filed its motion to dismiss, Plaintiff did not require the
Court’s permission to amend.2

Accordingly, Defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s original

complaint is now moot.3
The Court therefore DENIES AS MOOT Defendant’s motion to dismiss. Furthermore, the
Court will determine a scheduling order for briefing on the merits at the Case Management
Conference.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 14, 2018
