Opinion

NICASIO SANDOVAL, Plaintiff, v. KAISER FOUNDATION HEALTH PLAN, INC., Defendant. No. 1:14-CV-01466-GEB-BAM United States District Court, Eastern District of California January 6, 2015

          ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION AS MOOT

          Garland E. Burrell, Jr. Senior United States District Judge

         On November 24, 2014 Defendant Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss or alternatively to transfer venue and for a more definite statement. (ECF No. 7.) However, Plaintiff timely filed a First Amended Complaint on December 5, 2014, which is now the operative pleading. See Hal Roach Studios, Inc. v. Richard Feiner & Co., Inc., 896 F.2d 1542, 1546 (9th Cir. 1989) (stating "an amended pleading supersedes the original").

         Since the referenced dismissal motion does not address the operative pleading, it is denied as moot.
