UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On December 4, 2019, Defendant filed a combination Rule 12(b)(6) and Rule 12(f) motion 

to dismiss or strike. See Doc. No. 6. Hearing on this motion is set for January 13, 2020. On

December 20, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. See Doc. No. 7.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15 governs amended pleadings. In pertinent part, Rule 

15(a) reads: “A party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course within . . ., if the 

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

pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b) . . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B). 

A properly filed “amended complaint supersedes the original [complaint], the latter being treated 

thereafter as non-existent.” Ramirez v. County of San Bernardino, 806 F.3d 1002, 1008 (9th Cir. 

20015); Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th Cir. 1967).

Here, Plaintiffs' amended complaint is timely under Rule 15(a)(1)(B) since it was filed 

within 21 days of the motion to dismiss. Defendants’ motion now attacks a complaint that is no 

longer operative. Ramirez, 806 F.3d at 1008. Therefore, the hearing on Defendant’s motion to 

dismiss will be vacated and the motion will be denied as moot. Id.
