UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLEY, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ELITE TEK, et al.

Defendants.

Case No.: 18cv2609-LAB (KSC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED 

COUNTERCLAIMS [Dkt. 24]

Defendant and Counter-Claimant Elite Tek seeks leave to file amended 

counterclaims against Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Oakley, Inc. Rule 15(a)(2) 

requires that “the Court . . . freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.” Among 

the reasons for denying leave are “undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of 

the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, 

undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, [and] 

futility of amendment . . . .” Schlacter-Jones v. Gen. Tel. of California, 936 F.2d 435, 443 

(9th Cir. 1991). None of those apply here, as this is Elite Tek’s first amendment and the 

proposed amendment occurs within the period set by the Court’s scheduling order. See 

Dkt. 23 ¶ 1. Elite Tek’s motion is GRANTED, (Dkt. 24), and the hearing currently set for 

October 7, 2019 is VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 10, 2019

Hon. Larry Alan Burns
