UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MELINDA BEECH,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, ET AL.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-00268-TLN-CKD

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO AMEND

This matter is before the Court pursuant to Plaintiff Melinda Beech’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion 

to Amend the Complaint. (ECF No. 14.) Defendants San Joaquin County and City of Stockton 

(“Defendants”) have both respectively filed statements of non-opposition to Plaintiff’s motion. 

(See ECF Nos. 15, 16.) After reviewing Plaintiff’s briefing, the Court finds that granting Plaintiff 

leave to amend her complaint is in the best interest of justice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) (requiring 

that leave to amend a complaint “be freely given if justice so requires.”) Therefore, Plaintiff’s 

motion (ECF No. 14) is GRANTED. Plaintiff is ordered to file an amended complaint with this 

Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of this order. Furthermore, Defendant City of 

Stockton’s pending Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 9) is hereby DENIED AS MOOT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 19, 2016
