Plaintiff,

DENNIS LEDBETTER, ET AL.,
Defendants.

No. 3:14-CV-76-TAV-HBG

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 the pro se Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint
[Doc. 17]. Defendants have responded in opposition based upon Plaintiff’s failure to comply
with E.D. Tenn. L.R. 15.1 by attaching a copy of his proposed, amended Complaint. The Court
finds that the Plaintiff has failed to comply with E.D. Tenn. L.R. 15.1, and his motion could be
denied on this basis alone. However, given Plaintiff’s pro se status, the Court finds that it is
appropriate to provide Plaintiff an opportunity to remedy his mistake.
Accordingly,

Plaintiff

shall

file

his

proposed,

amended

Complaint

as

a

supplement/exhibit to his motion on or before December 21, 2015. The Defendants will have up
to and including January 11, 2016, in which to respond to the proposed, amended Complaint,
and the Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint is HELD IN ABEYANCE until January 12,
2016. Alternatively, if the Plaintiff fails to supplement his motion with a proposed, amended

Complaint, consistent with E.D. Tenn. L.R. 15.1, on or before December 21, 2015, the Court
will DENY the motion without receiving further briefing on the issue.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
