August 15, 2019 Filing 14 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ORDER entered granting in part and denying in part #12 Motion to Amend. The motion to amend is GRANTED insofar as DeNicola seeks to amend the complaint to indicate that he is bringing claims against the defendants in their individual capacities. The motion is DENIED insofar as DeNicola seeks to amend the complaint to bring claims against the defendants in their official capacities. The amended complaint filed on July 29, 2019 #7 shall remain the operative complaint, but the claims within shall be construed as setting forth claims against the defendants only in their individual capacities. The Clerk shall issue a summons for Tobin. The plaintiff is responsible for serving the summons, amended complaint [#7], and this order on Tobin in compliance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and within 90 days of the date of this order. DeNicola shall ensure that defendant Comerford receives a copy of this order and the amended complaint #7 . Service must be made in accordance with Rule 5(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Because the allegations in the amended complaint concerning Potter are identical to those in the original complaint, Potter may, but is not required, file an answer or other responsive pleading to the amended complaint. If Potter does not respond separately to the amended complaint #7 within twenty-one days of the date of this order, the Court will deem her answer #10 to the original complaint also to be her answer to the amended complaint.Keenan shall be terminated as a party to this action.
