Johnson v. Ohio Civil Rights Commission

Full title: Cinseree Johnson, Plaintiff, v. Ohio Civil Rights Commission, Defendant

Court: United States District Court, S.D. Ohio, Eastern Division

Date published: Nov 8, 2006

Case No. 2:06-cv-0626 (S.D. Ohio Nov. 8, 2006)

Opinion

Case No. 2:06-cv-0626.

November 8, 2006

ORDER

TERENCE KEMP, Magistrate Judge

On August 9, 2006, the Magistrate issued a Report recommending that pro se plaintiff, Cinceree Johnson's, complaint be dismissed for failing to state a claim on which relief may be granted. Ms. Johnson did not file an objection to the Magistrate's Report, but on August 18, 2006, Ms. Johnson filed a motion to amend her complaint.

Preliminarily, the Court notes that Ms. Johnson failed to attach a copy of the proposed amended complaint to her motion to amend. The Court recognizes, however, that the proposed amended complaint has the potential to alter the Magistrate's Report recommending that the complaint be dismissed for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a), because the defendant Ohio Civil Rights Commission has not filed its answer, Ms. Johnson does not need to seek leave to file the amended complaint. Accordingly, the motion to amend the complaint (doc. #5) is GRANTED. The amended complaint must be filed at the Clerk's office within 15 days of this Order.
