ORDER

----oo0oo----

On February 28, 2013, the court granted defendant 

Atlantic Mutual’s motion for judgment on the pleadings. (Feb.

28, 2013 Order (Docket No. 212).) The court allowed plaintiffs

twenty days from the date of the Order to file an amended

complaint “consistent with [the] Order.” (Id. at 20 (emphasis

added).) After plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint

(“FAC”) on March 20, 2013 (Docket No. 214), defendants submitted

an ex parte application to extend the trial date, dispositive

motion cutoff, discovery completion, and discovery motion dates

based upon the fact that the FAC added new claims. (Docket No.

215.) 

The court granted plaintiffs leave to amend to remedy

the deficiencies in the pleading of their existing claims, not

for the purpose of adding new claims. Upon review of the FAC, it

is clear that plaintiffs have gone beyond that limited purpose.

Plaintiffs’ FAC is therefore hereby ordered STRICKEN,

and plaintiffs are given seven days from the date of this Order

to file an amended complaint consistent with this Order and the

court’s February 28, 2013 Order. Defendants’ ex parte

application to extend the trial date, dispositive motion cutoff,

discovery completion, and discovery motion dates is therefore

DENIED as moot.
