UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISAAC MONGIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF FRESNO, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-01234-JLT-EPG

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT 

(ECF No. 7).

Plaintiff Isaac Mongia, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, initiated this civil action 

by filing a complaint on August 18, 2023. (ECF No. 1). The Court informed Plaintiff that his 

complaint is subject to screening before the Court authorizes the Clerk of Court to issue summons 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 3, p. 2 n.1). 

On October 20, 2023, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint. (ECF No. 

7). As grounds for leave to amend, Plaintiff seeks amendment to “[r]e-evaluate the claims to 

apply more accurate and appropriate claims that apply to this case.” (Id., p. 5). Plaintiff also seeks 

to “[c]orrect the factual allegations section to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 

10(b).” (Id.) Plaintiff also requests 90-days to file an amended complaint. (Id.)

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) provides that “a party may amend its pleading 

only with the opposing party’s written consent or the court’s leave.” Rule 15(a)(2) further states 

that “[t]he court should freely give leave when justice so requires.”

Given that the Court has not yet authorized summons to any defendant in this action, the 

Court finds good cause to grant Plaintiff leave to file a first amended complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED as follows: 

1. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend (ECF No. 7) is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file 

his proposed amended complaint within 90 days of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 8, 2023 /s/
