COMPLAINT 

[ECF No. 21] 

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Pamela Chyba's Motion For Leave To 

Amend Original Complaint, filed March 14,2013. ECF No. 21. Plaintiff seeks to

being asserted. She has attached her proposed first amended complaint as an exhibit 

to the motion. ECF No. 21-3. 

The scheduling order in this case set January 22, 2013 as the deadline to 

amend the pleadings. ECF No. 19. Once the court has filed a pretrial scheduling 

order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16, that rule's standards control. 

Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 607-08 (9th Cir. 1992). Rule 

16(b )(4) establishes that a scheduling order can be modified only on good cause and 

with the judge's consent. Because the proposed changes are minor, Defendant will 

not be prejudiced by the proposed modification. Indeed, Defendant indicated in an 

unrelated motion that it does not oppose the request. ECF No. 22. Accordingly,
