MARCO HEYWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04254-KAW 

ORDER GRANTING AS UNOPPOSED 

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT; 

TERMINATING MOTION TO DISMISS 

AS MOOT

Re: Dkt. Nos. 10, 26

On March 14, 2016, pro se plaintiff Marco Heyward filed a "motion for extension of time 

to file amended complaint." (Dkt. No. 26.) The Government has not filed an opposition to the 

motion, and the time for doing so has passed. See Civil L.R. 7-3. Accordingly, the motion, 

construed as a motion for leave to file an amended complaint, is granted as unopposed. See Judge 

Westmore's General Standing Order ¶ 22 ("The failure of the opposing party to file a 

memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to any motion shall constitute consent to the 

granting of the motion."). The First Amended Complaint docketed as document number 28 is now 

the operative complaint and is deemed filed as of the date of this order. The pending motion to 

dismiss is TERMINATED AS MOOT. Should the Government move to dismiss the First 

Amended Complaint, it shall be sure to address why equitable tolling would not apply in this case 

given that the action Plaintiff previously filed, Heyward v. United States Government, No. 14-cv5114-KAW, appears to have been filed within the applicable statute of limitations. See U.S. v. 

Kwai Fun Wong, 135 S. Ct. 1624, 1639 (2015) ("[W]e hold that the FTCA's time bars are 

nonjurisdictional and subject to equitable tolling."). If the Government does not file a motion to 

dismiss the First Amended Complaint, the Court will hold a case management conference in this
