Opinion
20 Civ. 1588 (JPC)
12-17-2021
RENZER BELL, Plaintiff, v. CHARLES GRAY, Defendant.
ORDER
JOHN P. CRONAN, United States District Judge:
On December 7, 2021, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in this action. Dkt. 74. Defendant previously moved to dismiss Plaintiff's original complaint on September 17, 2021. Dkt. 61. As such, Plaintiff cannot file an amended complaint without seeking leave of the Court or the consent of the Defendant. Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a). The Court thus rejects Plaintiff's purported amended complaint. Plaintiff may move to amend pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2) by December 30, 2021. If the Plaintiff does so, Plaintiff should explain why amendment would not be futile in light of the Defendant's letter of December 10, 2021. Dkt. 75. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail this order to the pro se Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
