Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-02027-MSK-BNB.
April 3, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on the plaintiff's Motion to Amend Complaint and to Amend Caption [Doc. #21, filed 4/2/07] (the "Motion"). The plaintiff seeks leave to amend her Complaint. She has attached a copy of the proposed amended complaint to the Motion.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that a complaint may be amended as follows:
A party may amend the party's pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is served. . . . Otherwise a party may amend the party's pleading only by leave of court or by written consent of the adverse party.
A responsive pleading has not yet been served in this case. Therefore, the plaintiff may amend her pleading as a matter of course. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Motion is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall accept the proposed amended complaint for filing.
