RECITALS

WHEREAS: 

1. On October 1, 2007, Plaintiff KRISTA JONES filed this action in the 

California Superior Court for the County of Kern. 

2. On October 24, 2007, Plaintiff KRISTA JONES filed a First Amended 

Complaint in the California Superior Court for the County of Kern without 

leave of that Court pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 472. 

3. On November 9, 2007, Defendants KERN HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, 

JAIME QUINONEZ, CONNIE SACK, BRUCE HILL, PATRICK 

BLAKE, ABELARDO SIBECAS, MARY ALEMAN, KATY 

RODRIQUEZ, DENNIS STEWARD, PABLO REYES, PATTY LEIBLE, 

DIRK McJUNKIN, VICKI SHOENHAIR, MATT GODBEHERE, 

TERRY LEWIS, MR. GUTIERREZ, and JAMES HUDSON removed the 

action from the California Superior Court for the County of Kern to the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

4. Rule 15(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides: 

(1) Amending as a Matter of Course. A party may amend its 

pleading once as a matter of course: 

(A) before being served with a responsive pleading; or 

(B) within 20 days after serving the pleading if a responsive 

pleading is not allowed and the action is not yet on the trial 

calendar. 

Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 15(a)(1). 

5. In the present case, Plaintiff KRISTA JONES has not been served with a 

responsive pleading. It is uncertain, however, whether a plaintiff may file 

an amended complaint without leave of Court under Rule 15(a)(1) where, 

as here, the plaintiff has previously filed an amended complaint without 

leave of the California Superior Court pursuant to California Code of Civil 

Procedure § 472, and the case was subsequently removed. 

6. Counsel for the undersigned parties agree that it would be most efficient 

if: (a) the proposed Second Amended Complaint attached hereto as 

Exhibit A is filed with the Court; and (b) any uncertainty regarding the 

propriety of the amendment be eliminated by the Court entering an Order 

approving and granting this Stipulation.
