UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDGAR GLOVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY 

FRESNO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00152-SAB

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO AMEND 

AND VACATING NOVEMBER 4, 2015 

HEARING 

(ECF No. 41)

FIVE DAY DEADLINE

On September 30, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a third amended 

complaint. The Court finds that the motion is suitable for decision without oral argument and the 

November 4, 2015 hearing shall be vacated. The parties are not required to appear at that date 

and time.

Plaintiff contends that the parties and have met and conferred regarding the current 

complaint and have agreed that Plaintiff may file a third amended complaint to avoid a motion to 

dismiss. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a third amended complaint is unopposed. 

Under Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may amend the party’s 

pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is served. 

Otherwise, a party may amend only by leave of the court or by written consent of the adverse 

party, and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Rule 15(a)

is very liberal and leave to amend ‘shall be freely given when justice so requires.’” Amerisource 

Bergen Corp. v. Dialysis West, Inc., 465 F.3d 946, 951 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 

15(a)). 

Since the motion is unopposed, it is unclear to the Court why the parties did not stipulate 

to the amendment to avoid setting a contested motion hearing. However, as Plaintiff’s motion is 

unopposed, the Court shall grant the motion for leave to file an amended complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s unopposed motion to file a third amended complaint is GRANTED, 

2. The November 4, 2015 hearing is VACATED and the parties are not required to 

appear for the hearing; and 

3. Plaintiff shall file the third amended complaint within five days from the date of 

service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
