WILBERT COLEMAN v. TIMOTHY MORRIS, ET AL. PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION [26] TO AMEND COMPLAINT
DAVID A. SANDERS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the court on the motion [26] by the plaintiff to amend his complaint.
A “court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)). Although not automatic, the decision to grant or deny such leave is within the sound discretion of the district court. Bloom v. Bexar County, Texas, 130 F.3d 722, 727 (5 Cir. 1997), Halbert v. City of Sherman, 33 F.3d 526, 529 (5
Cir. 1994). The motion [26] is well taken and is GRANTED. The instant complaint is deemed amended as of the date the instant motion was filed.
SO ORDERED.
