UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANCHESTER PACIFIC GATEWAY

LLC, a Delaware limited liability

company,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 07cv1099 WQH (RBB)

ORDER DENYING MOTION

TO DISMISS AS MOOT

(Doc. # 6)

vs.

CALIFORNIA COASTAL

COMMISSION, a California state agency,

et al.,

Defendants.

HAYES, Judge:

The matter before the Court is Defendant California Coastal Commission’s Motion to

Dismiss (Doc. # 6), filed July 2, 2007. On July 17, 2007, Plaintiff filed a First Amended

Complaint for Declaratory Relief (“First Amended Complaint”), as was its right pursuant to

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) (“A party may amend the

party’s pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is

served....”); see also Crum v. Circus Circus Enters., 231 F.3d 1129, 1130 n.3 (9th Cir. 2000)

(“A motion to dismiss is not a ‘responsive pleading’ within the meaning of Rule 15.”). Once

filed, an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint in its entirety. See London v.

Coopers & Lybrand, 644 F.2d 811, 814 (9th Cir. 1981). Defendant California Coastal
