UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KRISTIANE SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC.,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-1650 TLN CKD PS

ORDER

This action was removed to this court on July 14, 2015. On July 16, 2015, plaintiff filed a 

first amended complaint. Defendant thereafter on July 31, 2014 filed an answer. On January 14, 

2015, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a), 

plaintiff may file an amended complaint once as a matter of course. In this case, an answer was 

filed in response to the amended complaint; plaintiff’s current filing is untimely under Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B). Because plaintiff has not properly sought leave of court or 

obtained the opposing party’s written consent to file a second amended complaint, the pleading 

will be stricken. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2).
