This matter comes before the court sua sponte. On December 11, 2013, pro se

18 plaintiff Martha Wangari filed a First Amended Complaint. However, Ms. Wangari must
19 seek leave of court to file an amended complaint at this stage of the proceedings. See
20 Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 15(a)(2). Since plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the court will construe
21 the proposed first amended complaint as a request for leave. The court ORDERS
22 defendant Integrated Living Services to respond regarding whether it stipulates or
23 opposes granting leave to file the first amended complaint, and the legal and factual basis
24 for its position. Defendant shall file its response no later than December 23, 2013, and
25 plaintiff may reply no later than December 27, 2013. The court will resolve whether Ms.
26 Wangari may file a first amended complaint after that date.
