ORDER
Presently before the court is the matter of Che v. MGM Resorts International, et al., case no. 2:14-cv-00042-JCM-GWF.
On January 16, 2014, defendants filed a motion to dismiss (doc. # 5). On February 3, 2014, plaintiff filed an amended complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). (Doc. # 10).
An amended complaint supersedes the original pleading, making it "non-existent." Valadez-Lopez v. Chertoff, 656 F.3d 851,857 (9th Cir. 2011). If a litigant files an amended pleading, then motions to dismiss the original complaint are mooted without prejudice. Johnson v. Cheryl, 2013 WL 3943606, at *2 (D. Nev. 2013).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that defendants' motion to dismiss (doc. # 5) be, and the same hereby is, DENIED without prejudice.
