2026-01540086 Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint
Plaintiff Cheryl Fuller’s Motion for Leave to File a First Amended Complaint is GRANTED. (Code Civ. Proc. §473, subd. (a)(1); Atkinson v. Elk Corp (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 739, 761 [policy of great liberality in permitting amendments]; Howard v. County of San Diego (2010) 184 Cal.App.4th 1422, 1428 [policy favoring amendment so strong it is rare case in which denial of leave to amend can be justified].)
Leave to amend is warranted as the proposed amended pleading adds another entity alleged to be a joint employer of Plaintiff. (See Morgan v. Super. Ct.

Super. Ct. (1989) 213 Cal.App.3d 1045, 1047

This case is in early stages. A trial date has not even been set. Any increased discovery burden the proposed amendment may result in is not sufficiently prejudicial to deny Plaintiff’s proposed amendment.
Defendant also challenges the legal sufficiency of the proposed amended complaint, arguing that Plaintiff has failed to make an
