ELISEO ALATORRE, 

Plaintiff, 

v.

ORDER 

Through this action, Plaintiff Eliseo Alatorre (“Plaintiff”) seeks relief for various 

violations of California state law arising from the termination of his employment with 

Defendant Wastequip Manufacturing Company LLC (“Defendant”). Specifically, Plaintiff 

alleges that Defendant is liable for: (1) disability discrimination in violation of FEHA; 

(2) failure to provide reasonable accommodations in violation of FEHA; (3) failure to 

engage in the good faith interactive process under FEHA; (4) retaliation in violation of 

FEHA; (5) failure to take reasonable steps to prevent retaliation and/or discrimination 

under FEHA; (6) intentional infliction of emotional distress; and (7) wrongful termination 

in violation of public policy. (ECF No. 1.) Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion 

for Leave to File First Amended Complaint. (ECF No. 21.) Defendant filed a timely 

opposition to the motion. (ECF No. 22.)

On October 12, 2012, Defendant moved for Judgment on the Pleadings. (ECF 

No. 7.) On February 12, 2013, Plaintiff filed the instant motion. (ECF No. 21.) However, 

on March 4, 2013, the Court issued a Memorandum and Order granting in part and 

denying in part Defendant’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. (ECF No. 23.) The 

March 4 Order gave Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint within twenty (20) days. 

(Id.) In accordance with the Court’s March 4 Order, Plaintiff has twenty (20) days to file 

an amended complaint from the date that order (ECF No. 23) was filed electronically. If 

Plaintiff does not file an amended complaint within said twenty-day period, without 

further notice to the parties, final judgment shall be entered in favor of Defendant for 

Plaintiff’s claim for retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and Plaintiff’s 

claim for civil and statutory penalties shall be dismissed with prejudice. (See id.) 

Accordingly, the Court has already granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended 

complaint. Plaintiff’s present motion (ECF No. 21) is therefore DENIED AS MOOT.1 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: March 19, 2013
