ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff’s motion to amend Count I to conform to evidence

(doc. 57), plaintiff’s motion to amend Count II (doc. 64), the report and recommendation of

the United States Magistrate Judge (doc. 103), and plaintiff’s objections (doc. 109). We also

have before us plaintiff’s motion for judgment regarding his motion to amend Count I (doc.

102), which we construe as a motion for ruling. 

On June 10, 2008, a scheduling order was entered setting September 5, 2008, as the

deadline to amend the complaint (doc. 17). Plaintiff filed the instant motions to amend on

October 3, 2008, and November 3, 2008, well past the amendment deadline. Plaintiff’s

motions to amend seek to add several entirely new claims to his complaint. We agree with

the Magistrate Judge that this late amendment would unfairly prejudice defendants and

accordingly we adopt the report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge in accordance

with Rule 72(b)(3), Fed. R. Civ. P., and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
