ORDER RE STIPULATION

ALLOWING PLAINTIFF TO

FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT

No. 18). It is unclear whether plaintiff purports to amend “with the opposing party’s written

consent” or seeks to amend “with . . . the court’s leave.” See F.R.C.P. 15(a)(2). The stipulation

itself — spanning two pages inexplicably separated by a copy of the amended complaint —

seems to indicate that defendants have consented to the amendment. The stipulation, however,

fails to comply with Civil Local Rule 5-1(i), which requires plaintiff’s counsel to “attest that

it is DENIED. If plaintiff wishes to amend the complaint, then plaintiff’s counsel must file a
