MEMORANDUM ORDER

And now, this}...

th

day of November, 2014, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

AND DECREED that Defendant's Motion for Reconsideration of Order Allowing Plaintiff
Leave to File Second Amended Complaint is DENIED.
Any trial is a search for truth, and we are therefore inclined to apply liberal interpretation
to rules and motions which will enlighten the trier of fact, be it judge or jury. In this case, the
search for truth is made more difficult because of the untimely death of Heather Ellen Work, just
seven (7) days after the Complaint originally was filed. As such, we have concluded that there
exists good cause to allow the Complaint in this action to be amended as requested.
