SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR

The Court is in receipt of a Second Amended Complaint for 

Damages, electronically filed by Plaintiff on June 26, 2015. ECF 

No. 23. The first amended complaint was filed March 30, 2015. ECF

party or leave of the Court to file, which the Court will "freely 

give" when justice so requires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). 

Here, the Court did not grant leave to file, and the amended 

complaint is not within 21 days of original service or receipt of a 

required responsive pleading. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS 

Plaintiff to show cause why justice so requires a Second Amended 

Complaint be permitted. 

The Court is cognizant of the numerous stipulations extending 

time for Defendant to file a responsive pleading. In the belief 

that the filing of a Second Amended Complaint may be directly 

related to these extensions, the Court will accept, in lieu of a 

showing of cause, a stipulation by the parties granting retroactive 

leave for Plaintiff to file a Second Amended Complaint. 

A showing of cause or stipulation is required within 10 days 

of this order, or the Court will strike the Second Amended 

Complaint as improperly filed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 8, 2015
