No. CV 09-1917-PHX-JAT

ORDER

On November 2, 2009, Defendant City of Phoenix moved to dismiss. On November

13, 2009, Plaintiffs moved to amend. As the City notes in its response to the motion to

amend, the City filing a motion to dismiss did not cut off Plaintiffs’ ability to amend the

complaint once as a matter of right under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a). See

Schreiber Distrib. Co. v. Serv-Well Furniture Co., 806 F.2d 1393, 1401 (9th Cir. 1986).

However, as the City notes, Plaintiffs failed to include the proposed amended complaint as

is required by the local rules.

Because Plaintiffs may amend once as a matter of right, the Court will grant leave to

amend. The Court will deny the motion to dismiss as moot. If Plaintiffs fail to file an

amended complaint, the Court will dismiss this case for failure to prosecute and failure to

comply with a Court order. See Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 41(b). Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the motion to amend (Doc. #11) is granted; Plaintiffs shall file

moot.

DATED this 11th day of December, 2009.
