Heading: Additional Factual Allegations

Text: While the proposed Second Amended Complaint does not incorporate any new legal claims, it does include additional factual allegations. Even so, the new allegations do not save the case from summary judgment. For example, the additional allegations state that: (1) the 1989 CRP application was not added to the Master File, see Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 6-57, 6-64, 6-165; (2) government agencies “intentionally concealed” Mr. Cottrell’s rights, see id. ¶¶ 6-76-6-77, 6-112, 6-124; and (3) USDA “fraudulently” paid benefits to older farmers, see id. ¶¶ 6-97. These additional alleged facts do not alter the analysis set forth in this Opinion. See Howell, 843 F.Supp.2d at 54; Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2). Accordingly, the motion for leave to file a Second Amended Compliant will be denied as futile.
