NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY CRUMP,

Plaintiff,

v.

BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 17-cv-02259-JCS 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO FILE SECOND AMENDED 

COMPLAINT AND VACATING 

DECEMBER 14, 2018 MOTION 

HEARING

Re: Dkt. No. 67

Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint (“Motion”)

requesting leave to amend his prayer as to compensatory damages to seek damages according to 

proof rather than in the amount of $250,000, as stated in his original complaint. His counsel has 

supplied an affidavit stating that Plaintiff did not learn until after the deadline to amend had passed 

that he had suffered two torn rotator cuffs, which he alleges was the result of the Officers’

conduct; previously, his doctors had diagnosed only shoulder strain. Defendant did not file an 

opposition to the Motion and the deadline for doing so has now passed. Because Plaintiff seeks 

leave to amend his complaint after the deadline for amendment has passed, his request is governed 

by Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires a showing of “good cause.” 

Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 608 (9th Cir. 1992). The Court finds that 

Plaintiff has met that requirement. Accordingly, the Motion is GRANTED. The motion hearing 

noticed for December 14, 2018 is vacated. Plaintiff shall file the Second Amended Complaint 

as a separate docket entry no later than December 7, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 26, 2018
