OPINION AND ORDER

Pending before the Court in the above referenced cause are

Plaintiff AllChem Performance Products, Inc’s (“AllChem’s”)

[third]1 motion for default judgment (instrument #29) against

Defendant Aqualine Warehouse, L.L.C. (“Aqualine”) based upon

Allchem’s Original Complaint, which was served on Aqualine on

January 10, 2011.

Allchem has amended its complaint twice since the Original

Complaint was filed. #16, 28. “An amended complaint supersedes

the original complaint and the original complaint has no legal

effect except to the extent that it is incorporated by reference

into the amended complaint.” Rossignol v. Tillman, Civ. A. No. 10-

3044, 2011 WL 1193017, *2 (E.D. La. Mar. 25, 2011), citing Eason v.

Holt, 73 F.3d 600, 603 (5th Cir. 1996), and King v. Dogan, 31 F.3d

344, 346 (5th Cir. 1994). See also Boelens v. Redman Homes, Inc.,

759 F.2d 504, 508 (5th Cir. 1985). The Second Amended Complaint

(#28) does not incorporate the Original Complaint. Thus the Court

ORDERS that the current motion for default (#29) is DENIED. 

SIGNED at Houston, Texas, this 20th day of December , 2011.
