Date Filed Document Text
December 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 SCHEDULING NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES AND ORDER (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett: On 10/23/2023, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs complaint. (ECF No. #10 ). Defendant represents that it complied with the Local Rule 7-3 requirement to meet and confer because it sent an email to Plaintiff with its bases for its motion and an "offer" to discuss, but that they did not discuss on the phone. (ECF No. 10-1 at 3). On November 21, 2023, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (FAC). (ECF No. #11 ). The FAC lacks a signature required under Local Rule 11-1. Furthermore, because the FAC was filed more than 21 days after Defendants 12(b)(6) motion, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, Plaintiff needed to either seek leave of court or seek a stipulation with Defendant to file an amended pleading prior to filing the FAC. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Accordingly, the Court orders as follows: The Court STRIKES Defendant's motion to dismiss (ECF No. #10 ) for a failure to meet and confer pursuant to L.R. 7-3 and in accordance with this Court's Standing Order for Newly Assigned Civil Cases; and STRIKES Plaintiff's FAC as untimely per Fed. R. Civ. P. 15. (ECF No. #11 ). Within fourteen (14) calendar days of this Order, Plaintiff may file, after meeting and conferring, either a stipulation agreeing to an amended pleading, or a motion for leave to amend the complaint. In the future both parties are advised to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, and this Courts standing orders. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
