ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED

COMPLAINT AND DENYING MOTION

TO JOIN PARTY

Plaintiffs move under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Rule”)

15(a)(2) for leave to file the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) attached

to their motion, and under Rule 20(a)(2) to join the present Sheriff of

the County of Butte, Jerry Smith, as a Defendant. The Rule 20(a)(2)

portion of Plaintiffs’ motion is denied as moot since Smith is already

a Defendant in the action. The remainder of Plaintiffs’ motion is

unopposed, and is granted. 

//

The name of the Defendant in the caption has been changed under *

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d), which automatically substitutes

the successor public officer when a public officer sued in his official

capacity ceases to hold office.
