UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

DIANA ROLLINS, an individual,

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

NICOLAS ARROYO, an individual; 

VANTARI MEDICAL, LLC, an Arizona 

limited liability company; and GENETIC 

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS, LLC, 

a Delaware limited liability company, 

 Defendants. 

Case No: C 15-06049 SBA

ORDER 

On December 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against Nicolas Arroyo, Vantari 

Medical, LLC, and Genetic Technological Innovations, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”). 

Dkt. 1. On February 10, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue, or, 

in the alternative, to transfer venue for forum non conveniens. Dkt. 8. 

On March 10, 2016, pursuant to Rule 15(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint. Dkt. 15. Rule 15 permits a party to 

amend a pleading once as matter of course within 21 days after service of a responsive 

pleading or service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier. 

Because “an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint and renders it 

without legal effect[,]” Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 927 (9th Cir. 2012) (en 

banc), Defendants’ motion to dismiss or alternatively to transfer venue, which is directed at 

the superseded original complaint, is MOOT and therefore DENIED WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE. This Order terminates Docket 8. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
