United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEROME TALLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLERK OF THE COURT,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-06116-SI 

ORDER STRIKING MOTION TO ADD 

PARTY

Re: Dkt. No. 8

On January 7, 2016, this Court dismissed the above-captioned case with prejudice and 

judgment was entered accordingly. See Dkt. 6, 7. On January 11, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion to 

add a defendant to the case. Dkt. 8. 

Once final judgment has been entered in a case, a motion to amend the complaint can only 

be entertained if the judgment is first reopened pursuant to a successful motion for new trial, a 

motion to alter or amend judgment, or a motion for relief from judgment or order. See Lindauer v. 

Rogers, 91 F.3d 1355, 1357 (9th Cir. 1996); Fed. Rules Civ. Proc. 59, 60.

This judgment has not been set aside, and Court will therefore not entertain the present 

motion, which shall be STRICKEN from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 14, 2016
