UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEROME BEARDEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEDA COUNTY,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-04264-KAW 

ORDER TERMINATING MOTION TO 

DISMISS; DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 9

On November 20, 2019, Defendant Alameda County filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff

Bearden’s initial complaint. (Dkt. No. Re: Dkt. No. 9.) On December 13, 2019, Plaintiffs filed an 

amended complaint. (Dkt. No. Re: Dkt. No. 15.)

Under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), a party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course within 

21 days of being served with a motion under Rule 12(b). The deadline is extended by three days 

when a party is served by mail. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d); Spengler v. Machado, CV 17-2078-DOC 

(SP), 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 228166, at *3-4 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 23, 2018). Because the amended 

complaint was timely filed, the Court terminates the pending motion to dismiss, as the operative 

complaint is now the amended complaint.

In light of the amended complaint, the Court DISCHARGES the December 10, 2019 order 

to show cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 13, 2019
