Civil No. 10cv460 L(WMc)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT

MOTION TO STRIKE AND TO

DISMISS [doc. nos. 6, 9]

On May 28, 2010, defendants Vericrest Financial, Inc. fka The CIT Group and The Bank

of New York Melon fka The Bank of New York filed a motion to strike portions of plaintiff’s

complaint, and on June 2, 2010, these defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. 

Rather than respond to defendants’ motions, plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 17,

2010. 

 An amended complaint supersedes a prior complaint as a pleading. Forsyth v. Humana,

Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997); Hal Roach Studios, Inc. v. Richard Feiner & Co., 896

F.2d 1542, 1546 (9th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, when a plaintiff elects to file an amended

complaint in conformity with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a), a district court may treat an

existing motion to dismiss as moot.

Based on the foregoing, the Court DENIES AS MOOT defendants’ motions to strike

portions of the complaint [doc. #6] and to dismiss the complaint [doc. #9]. Defendants’ motions
