O RDER ON P LAINTIFF ’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
FIRST A MENDED C OMPLAINT
Plaintiff, by counsel, filed her Motion for Leave to File First Amended
Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2) and S.D. Ind. L.R. 15-1 on June 3,
2026. (Dkt. 38). Plaintiff seeks leave to amend to update the “allegations to reflect
a survival action pursuant to I.C. § 34-9-3-1.” Defendant did not oppose the Motion.
For the following reasons, the Court now GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion.
Under Rule 15(a)(2), “leave to amend ‘shall be freely given when justice so
requires.’” Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962), quoting Fed. R. Civ. P.
15(a)(2). Amendment is allowed “unless there is a good reason—futility, undue
delay, undue prejudice, or bad faith—for denying leave to amend.” Life Plans, Inc.,
800 F.3d at 357–58. There is no good reason to deny Plaintiff leave to amend her
complaint. Discovery is in its early stages and the interests of justice and judicial
economy favor granting leave to amend.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion is GRANTED.
Plaintiff is ORDERED to file the Amended Complaint (attached to her Motion at
