Date Filed Document Text
March 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 28 ORDER granting #26 Motion to Strike #25 Amended Complaint. The parties stipulated to a one-week extension of time, to and including, March 1, 2022, for Plaintiff to respond to Defendants Motion to Dismiss. This stipulation does not mention any extension of Plaintiff's time to file an amended pleading as a matter of course, and will not be treated as though it contains such an agreement. To amend as a matter of course, Plaintiff was required to submit her pleading on or before the 22nd of February. Instead, it was untimely filed on the 25th. It is, therefore, STRICKEN. Plaintiff may file a Motion to Amend her Complaint that is compliant with the Federal and Local Rules of Civil Procedure. With respect to that filing, the Court makes some observations. It is this Court's position that opposing a Motion to Amend based on futility is premature and inefficient. The denial of a Motion to Amend is a dispositive issue that this Court may only recommend to the presiding judge; if, after objections, the amendment is allowed by the presiding judge then the issue is likely to arise a second time on a motion to dismiss. Removing one step and allowing amendment now, to possibly be addressed in a Rule 12(b)(6) motion later, satisfies Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. See White River Vill., LLP v. Fid. & Deposit Co. of Maryland, No. 08-cv-00248-REB-MEH, 2013 WL 6168853, at *4 (D. Colo. Nov. 25, 2013). The Court further observes that a Defendant's arguments regarding dismissal may be more fully presented and create a better record in the context of a motion to dismiss, if any. The parties should consider the foregoing in conferring and determining how best to proceed.SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews on 3/3/2022. Text Only Entry (skclc1)
