June 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER Regarding Amended Complaint and Denying Motion to Dismiss as Moot: Less than 21 days after the defendants served their motion to dismiss under Rules 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6), plaintiff John M. Connor filed an amended complaint. As provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B), a party may amend his pleading once as a matter of course within 21 days of service of a Rule 12(b) motion. The court therefore accepts the First Amended Complaint, at Dkt. 15, as the operative complaint. The filing of the amended complaint moots the motion to dismiss directed at the original complaint. The motion to dismiss (Dkt. #13 ) is therefore DENIED as MOOT. Any renewed motion to dismiss must be directed to the amended complaint. Signed by Magistrate Judge Debra McVicker Lynch on 6/5/2018.
