UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JERRY LUM, et al., 

NO. CIV. S-10-1807 LKK/DAD 

Plaintiffs,

v.

 O R D E R

COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN, 

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiffs in this suit bring claims against police officers

and government entities concerning the events surrounding the

arrest and death of plaintiffs’ son. On August 23, 2010, all

defendants moved to dismiss several claims against them under Fed.

R. Civ. P 12(b)(6). This motion is set for hearing on September 27,

2010. Pursuant to Local Rule 230(c), plaintiffs’ opposition or

statements of non-opposition was due on September 13, 2010.

Plaintiffs did not file an opposition or statement of nonopposition. Instead, on September 9, 2010, seventeen days after the

motion was filed, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. Pursuant

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B), plaintiffs may file an amended

complaint twenty one days after service of a motion to dismiss.

Thus, plaintiff’s amended complaint was timely filed. 

It appears that some of the arguments raised in the motion to

dismiss portions of the initial complaint may also apply to the

amended complaint. Nonetheless, the court declines to address this

issue without briefing directly on point from either party. 

Accordingly, the pending motion, ECF No. 10 is DENIED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE as moot. The hearing on this motion set for September 27,

2010 is hereby VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 17, 2010.
