Opinion
Civil Action No. 5:07cv53.
November 15, 2007
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO AMEND
On April 25, 2007, the pro se plaintiff, Allan Peterson, a federal inmate, filed a Bivens action. On May 23, 2007, he filed a Motion requesting leave to amend the complaint.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a) provides that "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; and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires.
Here, a review of the file shows that no responsive pleading has been served. Thus, the plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Doc.9) is GRANTED as a matter of course.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Order to the plaintiff at his last known address as reflected on the docket sheet.
