For the following reasons, the Court now GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion.

Under Rule 15(a)(2), “leave to amend ‘shall be freely given when justice so requires.’” Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962), quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Amendment is allowed “unless there is a good reason—futility, undue delay, undue prejudice, or bad faith—for denying leave to amend.” Life Plans, Inc., F.3d at 357–58. There is no good reason to deny Plaintiff leave to amend her complaint. Discovery is in its early stages and the interests of justice and judicial economy favor granting leave to amend.
