UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE FELIX ORTIZ LEON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF MERCED, a municipal

Corporation; MERCED POLICE

DEPARTMENT OFFICER BRYAN

SAELEE, Individually; MERCED 

POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF NORM

ANDRADE, in his Official 

Capacity; and DOES 1 THROUGH 

50, Jointly and Severally,

Defendants.

No. 1:14-cv-01129-GEB-SAB

ORDER DENYING DISMISSAL MOTION 

AS MOOT

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s 

Complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) on 

August 25, 2014. (ECF No. 13.) However, Plaintiff filed a First 

Amended Complaint on September 15, 2014, (ECF No. 14), which is 

now the operative pleading. See Hal Roach Studios, Inc. v. 

Richard Feiner & Co., Inc., 896 F.2d 1542, 1546 (9th Cir. 1989) 

(stating “an amended pleading supersedes the original”). Since 

the referenced dismissal motion does not address the operative 

pleading, it is denied as moot.

Dated: September 18, 2014
