14 ECF No. 19. However, on September 10, 2025, Plaintiff Dana Soft Pty Ltd filed an amended 15 || complaint. ECF No. 21. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1), a party “may amend its a 16 || pleading once as a matter of course” within 21 days after that pleading is served, or within 21 days 17 after service of a responsive pleading or motion under Rule 12. “[T]he general rule is that an S 18 || amended complaint supercedes the original complaint and renders it without legal effect.” Lacey 19 v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 927 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Thus, as there has been no || previous amendment, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint as a matter of course under Rule 21 15(a).
