April 18, 2025 Opinion or Order Order [non-document]: On April 18, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to Amend his Complaint ("Motion") (Doc. No. #3 .) Therein, Plaintiff requested leave to file an Amended Complaint. (Id.) Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, a party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course no later than: (i) 21 days after serving it; or (ii) if the pleading is one to which a responsive pleading is required, 21 days after service of a responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(A)-(B). In this case, Plaintiff has not yet served his Complaint, nor has any responsive pleading or Rule 12 motion been filed. Thus, Plaintiff does not need to seek leave from this Court to amend his Complaint and may file his Amended Complaint once as a matter of course. Accordingly, because Plaintiff need not seek leave from this Court, Plaintiff's Motion is denied as moot. Plaintiff may file his Amended Complaint on the docket upon receipt of this Order. Judge Pamela A. Barker on 4/18/2025. (H,Ch) [Transferred from Ohio Northern on 5/1/2025.]

March 25, 2025 Opinion or Order Order [non-document] Counsel and the parties are hereby advised that this Court will not accept ex parte telephone calls to Chambers regarding substantive issues in pending cases. The Court speaks through its docket. While it may be appropriate to call Chambers regarding routine, non-substantive matters (such as requests for the dial in information for an upcoming status conference, etc.), it is not appropriate under any circumstances for counsel to call Chambers ex parte for guidance or clarification regarding substantive matters, including matters relating to existing case management deadlines, requests to file briefing, and/or inquiries regarding the status of pending motions. All questions regarding substantive matters in pending cases must be filed as a motion on the public docket, with the following exception. If a dispute arises during a deposition that requires this Court's immediate assistance, the parties may call Chambers for assistance, but must do so jointly (and not on an ex parte basis).
