IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUPE E. MARTINEZ, et al., CASE NO. CV F 06-0233 OWW LJO

Plaintiffs, ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR

LEAVE TO FILE FIRST AMENDED

(Doc. 36.)

CITY OF FRESNO, et al,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiffs Lupe Martinez and Ralph Rendon (collectively “plaintiffs”) propose a first amended

complaint to: (1) better organize and separately plead their claims in that plaintiffs filed their original

complaint pro se; (2) add Fresno Police Officer Belinda Anaya as a defendant; and (3) add a recently

matured malicious prosecution cause of action. Defendants City of Fresno, Jerry Dyer, Michael

Manfredi and Marcus Tafoya do not oppose the filing of plaintiffs’ proposed amended complaint. On

the basis of good cause, this Court:

1. GRANTS plaintiffs leave to file and serve their proposed first amended complaint;

2. ORDERS plaintiffs, no later than January 31, 2007, to file their proposed first amended

complaint and to serve their proposed first amended complaint on defendants City of

Fresno, Jerry Dyer, Michael Manfredi and Marcus Tafoya; and 

3. ORDERS plaintiffs, no later than February 16, 2007, to serve new defendant Belinda

Anaya with the summons and proposed first amended complaint and to file proof of such

service. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 24, 2007 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
