order Order on Motion to Amend Complaint Mon 11/24 2:34 PM
Text Order DENYING25 Motion to Amend Complaint entered by Judge Alan D Albright. Before the Court is Plaintiff's Opposed Motion to Amend the Complaint. Because Plaintiff filed her Motion after the deadline for amendment of pleadings in this Court's Scheduling Order, the standard in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b), rather than the more lenient standard in Rule 15(a), applies here. Rule 16(b) provides that a scheduling order may be modified only for good cause and with the judges consent. FED. R. CIV. P. 16(b)(4). In determining good cause, we consider four factors: (1) the explanation for the failure to timely move for leave to amend; (2) the importance of the amendment; (3) potential prejudice in allowing the amendment; and (4) the availability of a continuance to cure such prejudice. Sw. Bell Tel. Co. v. City of El Paso, 346 F.3d 541, 546 (5th Cir. 2003) (citing FED. R. CIV. P. 16(b)) Upon reviewing the Motion, Defendant's Response, and Plaintiff's Reply, the Court finds the Motion should be DENIED because of prejudice it presents to Defendant.
