Marylouise Avist v. Nathan Fite et al 25CV000794

PLAINTIFF MARYLOUISE AVIST’S MOTION FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO FILE A SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT

APPEARANCE REQUIRED. The Court finds good cause for granting the motion, and no opposition in the Court’s file. However, counsel are directed to appear to discuss the propriety of granting the named Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint in light of the Notice of Death of Plaintiff filed May 8, 2026.

The moving party failed to include in the notice of this motion proper notice of the Court’s tentative ruling system as required by Local Rule 2.9. Moving party is directed to immediately provide, by telephone call AND email, the missing notice to opposing party/ies forthwith. The requirements for requesting oral argument under Local Rule 2.9 remain in effect. However, the Court may grant belated requests for oral argument or continuance of hearing, made by any party who represents it did not timely receive the required notice, regardless of whether or not moving party is present at the hearing.

On April 10, 2026, Plaintiff Marylouise Avist filed a Motion for Leave of Court to File a Second Amended Complaint. On May 8, 2026, counsel for Plaintiff filed a Notice of Death of Plaintiff on April 13, 2026.

While the Court finds good cause for permitting the proposed amendment, to correct the date of the alleged incident, the Court is concerned that the named Plaintiff is no longer the proper party, and as a result, the Court would like to discuss whether substitution of the correct party plaintiff should precede and/or coincide with the amendment proposed here.
