Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

PERINI BUILDING COMPANY,

___________________________/

AND RELATED CROSS ACTIONS.

----oo0oo----

On February 13, 2007, Defendant Perini Building Company,

Inc. (“Perini”) filed the instant Motion for Leave to file a

Third Amended Third Party Cross-Complaint in this matter,

pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 13 and 15(a). 

According to Perini’s counsel, David S. Henningsen, he only

recently became aware of additional potentially liable parties

after receiving, reviewing and evaluating two additional reports

received from Plaintiff in December of 2006:

 Because oral argument will not be of material assistance, 1

the Court orders this matter submitted on the briefs. E.D. Cal.

Local Rule 78-230(h).

2

a December 1, 2006 Statement of Claims and Cost of Repair and a

December 6, 2006 Mold Investigation Report. (Henningsen Decl.,

¶¶ 6-7). Perini consequently requests permission to add six

additional subcontractor cross-defendants through its proposed

Third Amended Third Party Cross Complaint. 

Leave to amend a party’s pleadings should generally be

freely given under Rule 15(a), and no opposition to Perini’s

Motion has been made. Consequently, good cause appearing

therefor, Perini’s Motion for Leave to File a Third Amended Third

Party Cross Complaint is GRANTED. Perini shall file and serve 1

its proposed Third Amended Third Party Cross Complaint not later

than ten (10) days following the date of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 23, 2007
