UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAUL R. HARO,

Plaintiff,

v.

THERM-X OF CALIFORNIA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02123-JCS 

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT MOTION 

TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. No. 12

Defendant Therm-X of California, Inc. (“Therm-X”) moved to dismiss Plaintiff Raul 

Haro’s Complaint. Mot. to Dismiss (dkt. 12). Haro has since filed a First Amended Complaint 

(“FAC,” dkt. 14). The Court finds Therm-X’s Motion suitable for disposition without oral 

argument and vacates the hearing scheduled for August 28, 2015. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b).

“[T]he general rule is that an amended complaint supercedes the original complaint and 

renders it without legal effect . . . .” Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 927 (9th Cir. 2012) 

(en banc). Accordingly, “[d]ismissal of the superseded original complaint would not alter the 

proceedings . . . as the parties would continue to litigate the merits of the claims contained in the 

now-operative First Amended Complaint.” See Liberi v. Defend Our Freedoms Founds., Inc., 509 

F. App’x 595, 596 (9th Cir. 2013) (dismissing as moot appeal of denial of an anti-SLAPP motion 

regarding a superseded complaint). The Court therefore DENIES AS MOOT Therm-X’s Motion.1 

If Therm-X wishes to challenge Haro’s FAC, it may file a new motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
