On November 21, 2016, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 18) and

a Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (ECF No. 19). 

Plaintiff has the right to file the First Amended Complaint pursuant to the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(1)(b) (“A party may amend its

pleading once as a matter of course within . . . 21 days after serving it, or . . . if the

pleading is one to which a responsive pleading is required, 21 days after service of a

responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f),

whichever is earlier.”). Once filed, an amended complaint supersedes the original

complaint in its entirety. See Ramirez v. Cty. of San Bernardino, 806 F.3d 1002, 1008

(9th Cir. 2015). Defendants’ four motions addressing the original Complaint became

moot once the First Amended Complaint was filed.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 5), Motion to

Strike (ECF No. 6), Amended Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 12) and Amended Motion

to Strike (ECF No. 13) are DENIED as moot. 

DATED: November 29, 2016
