CASE NO. C17-58 RSL-BAT

On September 11, 2017, Sean D. Anderson filed a motion for leave to amend his

14

complaint. Dkt. 27. He seeks to substitute defendants Allen K. Richards and John Doe with

15

Officers Adam D. Beatty and William F. Anderson. Id. He does not appear to request any other

16

changes to his complaint. In their response, defendants do not object to substituting the names of

17

the defendants, but contend the motion fails to comply with Local Rule 15. Dkt. 28. Defendants

18

also request a 30-day extension of all remaining deadlines. Id. Because Mr. Anderson seeks only

19

to substitute Adam D. Beatty for Alan K. Richards, and William F. Anderson for John Doe and

20

has not moved for further amendment, the Court GRANTS Mr. Anderson’s motion limited to

21

substitution of the above defendants and ORDERS:

22

23

Complaint filed on March 23, 2017, Dkt. 10. Adam D. Beatty is substituted for Alan
