IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ABDULNASIR M. ]JINHAM,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 HORIZON LINES, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 05-04252 WHA

ORDER GRANTING MOTION

FOR LEAVE TO ADD NEW

DEFENDANT AND VACATING

HEARING

In this maritime personal-injury case, plaintiff Abdulnasir M. Jinham moves for leave to

add a new defendant, Interocean American Shipping Corp. The timely motion is not opposed. 

It appears that plaintiff’s dispute with Interocean American Shipping arises out of the same

series of transactions as does his dispute with defendant Horizon Lines, Inc. It also seems that

issues of fact common to both defendants will arise in this action. Justice requires that leave to

amend the complaint be given. See FRCP 15(a). The motion therefore is GRANTED. The

hearing on the motion is VACATED. The amended complaint SHALL BE FILED BY MARCH 16,

2006. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 2, 2006
