December 14, 2022 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 12/14/2022. Before the Court is Plaintiff Richard Jaeger's Motion to Amend Pursuant to Rule 15(a). See #43 . Mr. Jaeger seeks leave to amend the First Amended Complaint to omit the claim against Defendant Hyundai Motor America. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a) provides that a court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). This mandate is to be heeded. Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227 (1962). Since a complaint merely serves to put the defendant on notice, a complaint may be freely amended or constructively amended as the case develops. Toth v. USX Corp., 883 F.2d 1297, 1298 (7th Cir. 1989). The Court finds no reason to deny Mr. Jaeger leave to amend his First Amended Complaint. Accordingly, Mr. Jaeger's Motion, d/e #43 , is GRANTED. The Clerk is DIRECTED to docket pages seven through thirty-five of Plaintiffs Motion d/e #43 as Plaintiff Richard Jaeger's Second Amended Complaint. For the same reasons, Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiffs RDX, LLC and Robert Williams Motion for Leave to Amend Third-Party Complaint #44 is GRANTED. Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiffs RDX, LLC and Robert Williams shall so file within 14 days of the entry of this order. (RES)
