Order on Motion to Dismiss Order on Motion for Leave to File Set/Reset Deadlines
Thu 04/07 11:23 AM
MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Plaintiffs'32 Motion For Leave to File Fourth Amended Complaint. Under Rule 15(a)(2), "a party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave. The court should freely give leave when justice so requires." "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 (1962). Defendants oppose Plaintiffs' motion to amend primarily on the basis of futility, suggesting that the proposed amended complaint does not "cure the deficiencies that plagued" Plaintiffs' prior complaints. ECF No. 35 at 10. Thus, Defendants effectively ask the Court to resolve the case in ruling on the motion to amend. Given the interplay between, among other things, the standing and jurisdictional issues presented in the motion to dismiss and the proposed amended complaint, the Court finds that the motion to amend is not the proper vehicle to resolve these disputes. Defendants' futility arguments that effectively challenge Plaintiffs' underlying lawsuit are better addressed through a motion to dismiss. See White v. Hilton Hotels Ret. Plan , No. 16-cv-856 (CKK), (D.D.C. Jan. 24, 2018). Defendants also argue that "justice would not be served by granting Plaintiffs' motion" and that prejudice to Defendants would ensue because Plaintiffs have had numerous occasions to amend their complaint. ECF No. 35 at 15. The Court notes that this is the fourth time Plaintiffs have amended or moved to amend their complaint. But the D.C. Circuit has noted that "the grant of leave to amend a complaint might often occasion some degree of delay and additional expense, but leave still should be 'freely given' unless prejudice or delay is 'undue.'" See Barkley v. U.S. Marshals Serv. ex rel. Hylton , 766 F.3d 25, 39 (D.C. Cir. 2014) (quoting Foman , 371 U.S. at 182). On this record, the Court does not find that this "undue" standard is met. Defendant has not established that amendment would result in "a denial of the opportunity to present facts or evidence which would have been offered had the amendment been timely." Dove v. WMATA , 221 F.R.D. 246, 248 (D.D.C. 2004) (cleaned up) (noting examples of undue prejudice include instances where amendments altered the choice of counsel or the nature of the opposing party's strategy). Nor is this an instance where Plaintiff, for instance, "attempted to raise an entirely new issue by amendment... after the parties had conducted extensive discovery, and after the district court had granted a summary judgment motion." See Williamsburg Wax Museum, Inc. v. Historic Figures, Inc. , 810 F.2d 243, 247 (D.C. Cir. 1987). Therefore, in the Court's discretion, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs'32 Motion is GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to docket Plaintiffs' Fourth Amended Complaint, ECF No. 32-1. Additionally, absent extraordinary circumstances, the Court will not grant Plaintiffs further leave to amend the complaint. It is further ORDERED that the pending29 Motion to Dismiss is DENIED AS MOOT. Finally, it is further ORDERED that Defendants shall answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs' Fourth Amended Complaint by May 9, 2022. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 4/7/2022. (lctjk3) |
