Opinion
Civil Action No. 07-cv-01575-REB-KLM.
November 19, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Add a Party to Lawsuit [Docket No. 27, Filed November 16, 2007] (the "Motion"). Pursuant to Court Order dated September 28, 2007, Plaintiff was directed to file a "Final Amended Complaint" [Docket No. 14]. Plaintiff did so on October 22, 2007 [Docket No. 16]. On November 16, 2007, Plaintiff filed the present Motion and sought to amend his Final Amended Complaint to add Defendant Captain Vendetti as a party [Docket No. 27]. To that end, he tendered a second pleading titled "Final Amended Complaint" [Docket No. 26].
The Court notes that Plaintiff has spelled Captain Vendetti's name three different ways: "Vendetti" [Docket No. 27]; "Vendette" [Docket No. 26, at 3]; and "Vendetta" [Docket No. 26, at 10]. The Court has no knowledge or information regarding the correct spelling of Captain Vendetti's name, and uses the spelling provided by Plaintiff in the Motion for convenience only.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to accept the Final Amended Complaint [Docket No. 26] as filed. The deadline for the previously-served Defendants' Answers to Plaintiff's Final Amended Complaint [Docket No. 26] shall remain January 7, 2008.
By separate Order, the Court will order the U.S. Marshal to serve the Final Amended Complaint on the additional Defendant, Captain Vendetti.
In addition to notice of filing of this Minute Order being provided to the parties, it is ORDERED that the office of the Clerk shall mail a copy of this Minute Order to the following:
