IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIA SMITH,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC., and

DOES 1 through 50, inclusive,

Defendant. /

No. C 16-04101 WHA

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE

TO FILE FIRST AMENDED

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff seeks leave to file a first amended complaint after her initial complaint was

dismissed (Dkt. No. 20). Defendant stated it does not oppose this motion, though it reserved its

right to challenge the sufficiency of the complaint under Rule 12 (among other challenges to the

merits of the case) (Dkt. No. 23). Although the Court had intended for defendant to respond to

plaintiff’s motion seeking leave to file the proposed amended complaint by raising any issues

that might otherwise be raised in a Rule 12 motion (i.e., contending the proposed amendment

would be futile), this order GRANTS plaintiff’s motion and will allow defendant to bring a Rule

12 motion. Plaintiff shall promptly file her first amended complaint, and defendant shall answer

or otherwise respond no later than FOURTEEN DAYS after the complaint is filed. No extensions

of that deadline will be granted, inasmuch as defendant has been on notice of the contents of the

first amended complaint for several weeks.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 8, 2016.
