ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint (doc.

14). Defendant has not responded to the motion and the time for doing so has expired. 

Plaintiff filed his complaint on June 28, 2011 against Brachfeld Law Group, alleging

violations under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692. Plaintiff alleges

that on September 30, 2011, after filing his complaint, defendant placed a phone call to

plaintiff directly, attempting to negotiate a settlement, notwithstanding defendant’s

knowledge that plaintiff was represented by counsel. Plaintiff now seeks leave to amend the

complaint to add an additional violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(2) of the FDCPA, which

prohibits a debt collector from communicating with a consumer who is represented by

counsel with respect to such debt. 

IT IS ORDERED GRANTING plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend (doc. 14). The

clerk is instructed to file the lodged amended complaint. 

DATED this 30th day of November, 2011.
