ORDER

Pending before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Submit First Amended

Complaint (Doc. 29). Defendants have filed a Response (Doc. 31) opposing Plaintiff’s

motion. 

Plaintiff’s motion to amend fails to comply with the requirements for such a motion

set forth in the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 15.1 of the Local Rules requires a party

who moves for leave to amend to attach a copy of the proposed amended pleading as an

exhibit to the motion. The proposed pleading must “indicate in what respect it differs from

the pleading which it amends, by bracketing or striking through the text to be deleted and

underlining the text to be added.” Id.

Here, although Plaintiff attached a copy of the proposed amended pleading to the

motion, the proposed pleading does not indicate how it differs from the pleading which it

amends. Having failed to comply with the requirements for seeking leave to amend his

complaint, Plaintiff’s motion will be denied.
