Civil No. 2011-41 Order Kurt Shore Pro se, Suzanne L. Shore Pro se, Dorothy Janosko (also known as “Dorothy K. Janoko”) Pro se. ORDER GÓMEZ, J. Before the Court is the motion of the United States to strike the amended complaint docketed at ECF No. 508. On August 1, 2016, the Court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims against the United States. At the same time, the Court granted the plaintiff, Ida Smith (“Smith”), leave to amend her claims against the United States by August 8, 2016. On August 8, 2016, Smith filed an amended complaint. Thereafter, the United States filed the instant motion to strike Smith’s amended complaint for failure to comply with the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Local Rule of Civil Procedure 15.1 provides that: A party who moves to amend a pleading shall file the amendment with the motion. Except as otherwise ordered by the Court, any amendment to a pleading, whether filed as a matter of course or upon a motion to amend, must reproduce the entire pleading as amended specifically delineating the changes or additions and may not incorporate any prior pleading by reference. A proffered amended pleading must note prominently on the first page the numbered amendment it represents; i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd amendment, etc. Case: 3:11-cv-00041-RAM-GAT Document #: 511 Filed: 08/16/16 Page 5 of 6 Smith v. All Persons Claiming a Present or Future Interest, et al. Civil No. 2011-41 Order LRCi 15.1 (emphasis supplied).1 Smith’s amended complaint does not specifically delineate the changes to her complaint. Therefore, it is not in compliance with Local Rule of civil Procedure 15.1. The premises considered, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion to strike is GRANTED; it is further ORDERED that the amended complaint docketed at ECF No. 508 is STRICKEN; and it is further ORDERED that by no later than 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 18, 2016, Ida Smith may file an amended complaint that complies with Local Rule of Civil Procedure 15.1. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of her claims against the United States with prejudice. S\ CURTIS V. GÓMEZ District Judge 1 Changes or additions are generally delineated using the “red-line” option in word-processing programs. Case: 3:11-cv-00041-RAM-GAT Document #: 511 Filed: 08/16/16 Page 6 of 6
