v.
District Judge Jill Parrish
NEWELL K. WHITNESALT LAKE
COUNTY, JAMES WINDER, and John and
Jane Does 1-10,Y, et al.,
Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells
Defendants.
Before the court is Plaintiffs’ Second Motion to Amend Complaint. 1 Plaintiffs seek leave
to file an amended complaint to add a claim of medical malpractice against Wellcon, Inc. Rule
15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a party may amend its pleadings by
leave of the Court, “and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires.” 2
Defendants do “not oppose Plaintiffs’ Second Motion to Amend to add a medical
malpractice claim against Wellcon, Inc.,….” 3 The parties do disagree, however, on the inclusion
of the “DOPL Panel Opinion … as an exhibit to Plaintiffs’ Second Motion to Amend….” 4 This
disagreement does not preclude the Court granting the motion to amend and it appears the
“parties are currently working together to resolve this issue.” 5
