ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff Wendell Dwayne O’Neal’s Motion for Leave to File a

Second Amended Complaint (Doc. 21). Plaintiff seeks to amend his complaint to

substitute the University of Phoenix as Defendant in place of “Axia Online College”1

 and

to amend and clarify other allegations. Defendant University of Phoenix filed a response

to Plaintiff’s motion indicating that it does not object to Plaintiff’s request (Doc. 24). 

Under Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[a] party may amend its pleading

only with the opposing party’s written consent or the court’s leave.” Furthermore, “[t]he

court should freely give leave when justice so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). 

Defendant has provided written consent and the Court finds that no party will be

prejudiced by amendment at this early stage of the proceeding.
