Date Filed Document Text
September 30, 2021 Filing 12 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. At this time, the parties are not required to submit joint or separate proposed schedules. Because the plaintiff is a prisoner, a scheduling order is not required. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(1); L.R. 16.2. The Court will issue a discovery schedule once it is determined whether the operative pleading will be the original complaint or an amended complaint. (PSSA, 3)
September 28, 2021 Filing 11 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The motion to amend #10 the complaint is granted insofar as the plaintiff seeks 90 days to file a proposed amended complaint. Because more than 21 days have passed since the defendants filed their answer, the plaintiff cannot amend the original complaint as a matter of right. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). Thus, the plaintiff may only file an amended complaint if the Court determines that it is in the interest of justice to allow the amendment or the defendants consent in writing to the amendment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Here, because the plaintiff has not filed a proposed amended complaint with his motion to amend, the Court cannot determine whether it is in the interests of justice to allow amendment of the complaint, and the defendants decide whether they will consent to the filing of an amended complaint. Accordingly, if the plaintiff seeks to amend his complaint, he must, within 90 days, file a renewed motion to amend with the proposed amended complaint. The defendants will not be required to respond to the proposed amended complaint until the Court allows the motion to amend or the defendants consent in writing to the amendment. If the plaintiff does not file a renewed motion to amend with a proposed amended complaint within 90 days of the date of this order, the case shall proceed on the original complaint. The Court reminds the plaintiff that an amended complaint will completely replace the original complaint. Thus, whatever portion of the original complaint he wishes to be part of the operative complaint must be included in the proposed amended complaint. (PSSA, 3)
