MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court,
and Standing Order 13-02. Now before the Court is Plaintiff’s Second Motion to Amend
Complaint [Doc. 67], in which the Plaintiff moves the Court to allow him to amend his
Complaint.
The Court finds, first, that no party has responded in opposition to the Second Motion to
Amend Complaint [Doc. 67], and the time for doing so has expired, E.D. Tenn. L.R. 7.1. The
Court may treat this failure to respond as acquiescence to the relief sought. See E.D. Tenn. L.R.
7.2. In addition, the Court finds that the Plaintiff has complied with Local Rule 15.1, and the
Court finds that the Plaintiff has demonstrated appropriate grounds for granting leave to amend
under Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Based upon the foregoing, the Second Motion to Amend Complaint [Doc. 67] is
GRANTED. The Plaintiff SHALL FILE the proposed Amended Complaint, [Doc. 67-1], as his
Amended Complaint in this case on or before November 6, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
