UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OSCAR GUZMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

GRUMA CORP., CHUCK DAWSON, 

and DOES 1 through 20, 

inclusive,

Defendants.

No. 1:15-cv-00159-GEB-SKO

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTIONS TO DISMISS AS MOOT

Defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss all of 

Plaintiff’s claims against Chuck Dawson and Plaintiff’s

harassment claims against Defendant Gruma Corporation under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Rule”) 12(b)(6) on February 4, 

2015. (ECF No. 9.) On that same day, Defendants filed another 

motion to dismiss under Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). (ECF No. 

10.) However, Plaintiff filed a timely First Amended Complaint on 

February 25, 2015, (ECF No. 22), which is now the operative 

pleading. See Hal Roach Studios, Inc. v. Richard Feiner & Co., 

Inc., 896 F.2d 1542, 1546 (9th Cir. 1989) (stating “an amended 

pleading supersedes the original.”). Since the referenced 

dismissal motions do not address the operative pleading, they are 

denied as moot.
