UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS M. ROSALES; GLORIA S.

ROSALES,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 09cv235 - IEG - JMA

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’

REQUEST TO AMEND

COMPLAINT AND CONTINUING

HEARING ON MOTIONS TO

DISMISS

vs.

THE MORTGAGE STORE FINANCIAL

INC.; INDYMAC FINANCIAL SERVICES;

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS;

MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC

REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC; and

DOES 1-100,

Defendant.

On March 9, 2009, plaintiffs requested the Court to enlarge the time to file a first amended

complaint. The Court construes this request as a motion for leave to amend. Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 15 states, "[a] party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course at any time before

a responsive pleading is served . . . ." This will be Plaintiffs’ first amendment and Defendants have

not filed a responsive pleading. Rick-Mik Enterprises, Inc. Equilon Enterprises LLC, 532 F.3d 963,

977 (9th Cir. 2008)(“motion to dismiss is not a responsive pleading within the meaning of Rule

15(a).”). The Court, therefore, GRANTS plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint on or before

March 23, 2009. The hearing scheduled for March 23, 2009 on defendant Indymac’s motion to

dismiss and defendant Countrywide’s motion to dismiss is continued to April 7, 2009 at 10:30 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 17, 2009
