MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND COMPLAINT
NOW COMES PERSON 1, Plaintiff, and brings this Motion for Leave to Ament Complaint against PERSON 2, Defendant, and hereby avers as follows:
- Rule 15(c)(1) of the XXX Rules of Civil Procedure states as follows: “An amendment to a pleading relates back to the date of the original pleading when the amendment asserts a claim or defense that arose out of the conduct, transaction, or occurrence set out – or attempted to be set out – in the original pleading.”
- Plaintiff’s Original Complaint was filed on XXX. If this Motion is granted, the proposed Amended Complaint will reflect these parties, the allegations pertaining to them, and an amplification of some of the original allegations.
- The filing of an amended complaint will allow the addition of the parties to be reflected clearly in the record.
- There is no unfair surprise or other prejudice to the defendants in presenting these amplified allegations.
- The proposed amended complaint does not change the nature of the relief requested. It is filed in good faith as soon as reasonably possible. The filing of the amended complaint will not delay this suit in any manner.
- In interpreting Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the United States Supreme Court held as follows: “If the underlying facts or circumstances relied upon by a plaintiff may be a proper subject of relief, he ought to be afforded an opportunity to test his claim on the merits. 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’.” Foman v Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182-183 (1962).
REASONS WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant this Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint.
Respectfully Submitted,
