Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-02358-WYD-BNB.
July 2, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion to Vacate the Court's Scheduling Order of June 15, 2007 and for Leave to Amend the Complaint [Doc. # 83, filed 6/29/2007] (the "Motion"). The Motion is DENIED without prejudice.
The Scheduling Order [Doc. # 46, filed 1/23/2007] established March 16, 2007, as the deadline to join parties and amend pleadings. Before the plaintiffs will be allowed to amend their complaint, they must show good cause to amend the scheduling order to extend the deadline for seeking amendment. Colorado Visionary Academy v. Medtronic, Inc., 194 F.R.D. 684, 687-88 (D. Colo. 2000). The Motion does not address this requirement.
I will consider allowing amendment only where the motion to amend attaches a copy of the proposed amended complaint and explains the changes sought. The Motion does not meet these requirements.
I do not expect to vacate the case schedule wholesale. Although amendment of the complaint may require some extensions of some existing deadlines, the parties should address specifically any extensions they believe are necessary when they seek amendment of the schedule.
The plaintiff may file a modified motion to amend the complaint and motion to amend the case schedule consistent with this order.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED without prejudice.
