July 9, 2026 Filing 12 CONSENT to Magistrate Judge Disposition on Motion by Dwight D York re #2 Emergency MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction. (Smith, John)
July 6, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 11 MINUTE ORDER: This matter is before the Court on a review of the docket. The #9 First Amended Complaint for Injunctive and Equitable Relief and the #10 First Amended Complaint for Injunctive and Equitable Relief are STRICKEN for failure to comply with the Local Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. First, Local Rule 15.1 provides that "[a] party... who files an amended pleading under Fed. R. Civ. P.15(a)(1)... shall file a separate notice of filing the amended pleading and shall attach as an exhibit a copy of the amended pleading which strikes through... the text to be deleted and underlines... the text to be added." D.C.COLO.LCivR 15.1(a). The filing submitted on July 3, 2026 does not comply with this requirement. The filing submitted on July 4, 2026 does not comply with Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that a party may amend his pleading only once as a matter of course. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). "In all other cases, a party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Finally, neither the July 3 filing nor the July 4 filing comply with Rule 10 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires that a complaint's caption must name all parties. See Culp v. Williams, No. 10-cv-00886-CMA-CBS, 2011 WL 1597686, at *3 (D. Colo. Apr. 27, 2011), aff'd, 456 F. App'x 718 (10th Cir. 2012). Accordingly, although Plaintiff has already filed his one amended pleading as a matter of right, Plaintiff is GRANTED LEAVE to file a Third Amended Complaint no later than 7/7/2026. The Third Amended Complaint's caption must include the names of all parties to the case. The Third Amended Complaint must be accompanied by a separate Notice of Amended Pleading that complies with Local Rule 15.1. By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 07/06/2026. Text Only Entry (nywlc2, )
