JORDAN RICH, MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO Plaintiff, AMEND COMPLAINT

v. Case No. 4:24-cv-00010-DN-PK CODY MARSH, et al., District Judge David Nuffer Defendants. Magistrate Judge Paul Kohler

This matter is before the Court of Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Complaint.1 Unless able to amend as a matter of course, “a party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party’s written consent or the court's leave.”2 “The court should freely give leave when justice so requires.”3 “In the absence of any apparent or declared reason—such as undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.—the leave sought should, as the rules require, be ‘freely given.’”4 Here, there is no evidence of undue delay, bad faith, dilatory motive, repeated failures to cure, undue prejudice, or futility. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion is GRANTED and leave to amend is given.
