ORDER

Plaintiff commenced this employment law action by filing a complaint against

Defendants on January 8, 2010. Doc. 1. Plaintiff has filed a timely motion for leave to

amend his complaint pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Doc. 35.

He seeks to add allegations that Defendants further reduced his compensation and demoted

him in retaliation for having filed an EEOC charge of race discrimination. Id. at 1-2; see

Doc. 22 at 2, ¶ 6. No opposition has been filed, and the time for doing so has expired. See

LRCiv 7.2(c); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d).

Rule 15 makes clear that the Court “should freely give leave [to amend] when justice

so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). The policy in favor of leave to amend must not only

be heeded, see Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962), it must also be applied with

extreme liberality, see Owens v. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., 244 F.3d 708, 880 (9th

Cir. 2001). Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2), and in the interest of justice, the Court will grant
