New York, New York 10007 BLOCK, Senior District Judge :
Plaintiff ECP Property II LLC ("ECP") moves for default judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b), alleging the time for defendant's response expired. Despite the Clerk's entry of default, ECP's subsequent filing of an amended complaint, moots the motion. It is well established that an amended pleading supersedes an original pleading and renders it of no legal effect. See 6 Wright, Miller & Kane, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1476 (2d ed. 2009) ("Once an amended pleading is interposed, the original pleading no longer performs any function in the case and any subsequent motion made by an opposing party should be directed at the amended pleading."). ECP's motion is denied.
SO ORDERED.
