LINDA A. LAXEY, Plaintiff, v. CBM ONE, LLC, et al. Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On February 25, 2016, the Court signed an order dismissing Marriott International Hotel and granting the Plaintiff fourteen days "from the date of this Order to file a Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint." ECF No.18, docketed February 26, 2016. It appears that the Plaintiff has instead filed an amended complaint without filing a motion requesting leave to do so. ECF No. 21. This is directly contrary to the order, as well as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2).
Accordingly, it is, this 24th day of March, 2016, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland
ORDERED, that the Amended Complaint [ECF No. 21] is STRICKEN for being filed without leave of the court; and it is further
ORDERED, that Plaintiff SHALL FILE within five (5) days of the date of this Order a Motion for Leave to File Late a Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint, which shall include a Proposed Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint; and it is further
ORDERED, that Plaintiff SHALL SHOW CAUSE within five (5) days of the date of this Order why the Complaint should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to file a motion for leave to file an amended complaint as directed in this Court's order of February 25, filed February 26, 2016; and it is further
ORDERED, that both filings SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED by memoranda giving substantial reasons for the relief requested and good and sufficient reasons for failure to follow orders of this Court.
