ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

DISMISS AS MOOT (Doc. 6) AND

VACATING ORAL ARGUMENT SET

FOR APRIL 9, 2007

Plaintiffs have filed a First Amended Complaint in response

to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss. Pursuant to Rule 15(a),

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiffs are entitled to

amend their Complaint once as a matter of course before a

responsive pleading is filed. Because a motion to dismiss is not

a responsive pleading for purposes of Rule 15(a), see Miles v.

Department of Army, 881 F.2d 777, 781 (9 Cir.1989), Defendant’s th

Motion to Dismiss is moot.
