United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY WOO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., 

INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-07042-MMC 

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT

DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS; 

VACATING HEARING

Before the Court is defendant's Motion to Dismiss, filed January 30, 2020, 

whereby defendant, pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, seeks dismissal of plaintiffs' initial complaint. On February 13, 2020, plaintiffs

filed a First Amended Complaint.

A party may amend a pleading "once as a matter of course within . . . 21 days after 

service of a responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), 

(e), or (f), whichever is earlier." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). "[A]n amended pleading 

supersedes the original, the latter being treated thereafter as non-existent." Bullen v. De 

Bretteville, 239 F.2d 824, 833 (9th Cir. 1956), cert. denied, 353 U.S. 947 (1957).

In the instant case, plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint within 21 days 

after service of defendant's motion to dismiss, and, consequently, were entitled to amend 

as of right. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1).

Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES as moot defendant's motion to dismiss the 

initial complaint and VACATES the hearing scheduled for March 6, 2020.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 27, 2020
