UNITED STATES POSTAL 

SERVICE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiffs, proceeding in this action in propria persona, bring this civil action

pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1346. Pending before the court is the

Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Doc. 8), and Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file second amended

complaint (Doc. 14). Plaintiff’s motion is currently on calendar for a hearing on February 11,

2010. The court finds it appropriate to address the motion without the necessity of a hearing. 

The hearing will therefore be vacated.

Defendants’ have filed a notice of withdrawal of their motion to dismiss (Doc.

18), in which they state the second amended complaint cures the defects raised in the motion. It

therefore appears that Defendants have no objection to Plaintiff filing a second amended

complaint. As such, that request will be granted. Defendants shall respond to the second
