Civil No. 11cv1677-L(WMC)

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS AS MOOT

On August 5, 2011 Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On the same day,

Plaintiff filed the first amended complaint. The amended complaint was timely filed pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a).

An amended complaint supersedes a prior complaint as a pleading. Forsyth v. Humana,

Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997), aff’d on other grounds, Humana, Inc. v. Forsyth, 525

U.S. 299 (1999). A district court may treat as moot a pending motion to dismiss a superseded

pleading. See William W. Schwarzer et al., Fed. Civ. Proc. Before Trial ¶ 9:262 (2011). 

Accordingly, Defendants’ motion to dismiss is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

It is further ORDERED that Defendants shall file a response to the amended complaint,

if any, within the time provided in Rule 15(a)(3).
