UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KATHLEEN D. GATES,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 13cv2611-MMA (DHB)

ORDER VACATING HEARING

DATE & DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS AS MOOT

[Doc. No. 3]

vs.

MCT GROUP, INC., et al,

Defendants.

On October 29, 2013, Plaintiff Kathleen D. Gates commenced this fair debt

collection action against Defendants MCT Group, Inc. and the Law Offices of Peter

W. Singer. See Doc. No. 1. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s

complaint. See Doc. No. 3. The motion is currently set for hearing on January 6,

2014. In lieu of any opposition papers, Plaintiff timely filed a First Amended

Complaint. See Doc. No. 4. The complaint which Defendants move to dismiss is no

longer the operative pleading in this action, as an amended complaint supersedes the

original complaint. Forsyth v. Humana, Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997);

King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). Thus, Defendants’ motion has

become moot. Accordingly, the Court VACATES the previously scheduled motion

hearing and DENIES AS MOOT Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s original

complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATE: December 30, 2013 ____________________________________
