In The Matter of Michelle N. Cardozo

2. The May 28 Motion re: SAC is GRANTED

“The court may, in furtherance of justice, and on any terms as may be proper, allow a party to amend any pleading or proceeding by adding or striking out the name of any party, or by correcting a mistake in the name of a party, or a mistake in any other respect; and may, upon like terms, enlarge the time for answer or demurrer. The court may likewise, in its discretion, after notice to the adverse party, allow, upon any terms as may be just, an amendment to any pleading or proceeding in other particulars; and may upon like terms allow an answer to be made after the time limited by this code.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 473, subd. (a).) Similarly, “[a]ny judge, at any time before or after commencement of trial, in the furtherance of justice, and upon such terms as may be proper, may allow the amendment of any pleading or pretrial conference order.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 576.)

The Court finds that the moving papers satisfy the procedural requirements of California Rules of Court, rule 3.1324.

Good cause appearing, and no opposition having been filed, the Motion for leave to file the proposed SAC is GRANTED.

For file management reasons, the Court does not permit attachments to other filings to be deemed operative pleadings. Thus, the request that the proposed Second Amended Complaint be deemed filed is DENIED.
