Filing 27 PAPERLESS ORDER. Plaintiff Mark Fitzhenry and Defendant Safe Streets USA LLC ("Safe Streets") have filed a Joint Stipulation Regarding Transfer of Venue and Motion to Approve Stipulation. (DE #24 ). In the motion, those parties request for this Court to transfer the lawsuit to the Western Division of the Eastern District of North Carolina because Safe Streets is headquartered within that district. "For the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought or to any district or division to which all parties have consented." 28 U.S.C.A. 1404. While Plaintiff and Defendant Safe Streets have consented to this transfer, the position of Defendant Tektiks Innovative Network USA, Inc. ("Tektiks") is not yet known. The record reflects that a summons was issued to Tektiks on August 7, 2019 (DE #21 ), however no executed return of service has been filed in the court record, and no attorney has yet appeared on Tektiks' behalf. Accordingly, the Parties are DIRECTED to file a Notice with the Court, on or before September 11, 2019, apprising the Court of Defendant Tektiks' position regarding transferring this action to the Western Division of the Eastern District of North Carolina. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/29/2019. (kal) [Transferred from Florida Southern on 9/10/2019.] |

Filing 19 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #18 Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20 permits joinder of defendants if "any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action." Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(2)(B). That standard appears to be met here, as Plaintiff is seeking to join the contracted telemarketer alleged to have made the complained-of calls on behalf of Defendant Safe Streets USA LLC. I also note that the deadline to amend pleadings and/or join parties had not expired by the time Plaintiff sought leave to amend. Even if the deadline had expired, however, Rule 15(a) provides that leave to amend a pleading should be freely granted "when justice so requires." Based on the foregoing, the motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff is advised that pursuant to Local Rule 15.1, the amended pleading must be separately filed. The deadline for Plaintiff to file the amended complaint is August 9, 2019. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/7/2019. (mbt) [Transferred from Florida Southern on 9/10/2019.] |
