This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On August 7, 2018, plaintiff filed an
“Amended Complaint.” Dkt. # 25. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B), plaintiff’s
opportunity to amend her complaint as a matter of course expired in 2017, twenty-one days after

18

the motions to dismiss were filed. At this point in the litigation, plaintiff must obtain leave of

19

Court (following the procedures set forth in LCR 15) or consent of the opposing party before

20

amending her complaint. There is no indication in the record that she has done so.
