Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(A) allows a party to amend its pleading

once as a matter of course before being served with a responsive pleading. A motion for a

more definite statement is not a responsive pleading for purposes of Rule 15(a)(1)(A). See

Rick-Mik Enter., Inc. v. Equilon Enter. LLC, 532 F.3d 963, 977 (9th Cir. 2008).
