No. CV-09-1719-PHX-DGC

ORDER

Plaintiffs have filed a timely motion for leave to file a second amended complaint

pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Dkt. #49. Plaintiffs wish to add

as defendants Sergeant Guadalupe Rios and former MCSO Officer Guillermo Montano. Id.

at 2; see Dkt. #49-2.

Rule 15 makes clear that the Court “should freely give leave [to amend] when justice

so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). This policy in favor of leave to amend must not only

be heeded by the Court, see Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962), it must also be

applied with extreme liberality, see Owens v. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., 244 F.3d

708, 880 (9th Cir. 2001). The Court, in the interest of justice, will grant Plaintiffs leave to

file a second amended complaint. See Neuendorf v. Unknown Party, No. CV 10-124-PHXCase 2:09-cv-01719-DGC Document 58 Filed 05/24/10 Page 1 of 2
