UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiffs initiated this action by filing a complaint on September 24, 2015, asserting the 

defendants are liable for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, identity theft, and 

violations of 15 U.S.C. §1635 for actions taken during the course of foreclosure. (Doc. 1) Defendants 

filed a motion to dismiss the compliant pursuant to Rule 12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

on November 23, 2015. (Doc. 4)

On December 4, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a request for leave to amend the complaint (Doc. 9) and 

their First Amended Complaint (Doc. 10). Significantly, a party is permitted to amend a pleading “as 

a matter of course” within “21 days after a service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f).” Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B). Because Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint was filed within the time 

authorized by Rule 15, they are permitted to file an amended complaint as a matter of course, and 

leave of the Court is not required.
