ORDER
GÓMEZ, J.
Before the Court is the motion of the United States to
strike the amended complaint docketed at ECF No. 508.
On August 1, 2016, the Court dismissed the plaintiff’s
claims against the United States. At the same time, the Court
granted the plaintiff, Ida Smith (“Smith”), leave to amend her
claims against the United States by August 8, 2016. On August 8,
2016, Smith filed an amended complaint. Thereafter, the United
States filed the instant motion to strike Smith’s amended
complaint for failure to comply with the Local Rules of Civil
Procedure.
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 15.1 provides that:
A party who moves to amend a pleading shall file the
amendment with the motion. Except as otherwise
ordered by the Court, any amendment to a pleading,
whether filed as a matter of course or upon a motion
to amend, must reproduce the entire pleading as
amended specifically delineating the changes or
additions and may not incorporate any prior pleading
by reference. A proffered amended pleading must note
prominently on the first page the numbered amendment
it represents; i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd amendment, etc.

LRCi 15.1 (emphasis supplied).1 Smith’s amended complaint does
not specifically delineate the changes to her complaint.
Therefore, it is not in compliance with Local Rule of civil
Procedure 15.1.
The premises considered, it is hereby
ORDERED that the motion to strike is GRANTED; it is further
ORDERED that the amended complaint docketed at ECF No. 508
is STRICKEN; and it is further
ORDERED that by no later than 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, August
18, 2016, Ida Smith may file an amended complaint that complies
with Local Rule of Civil Procedure 15.1. Failure to do so may
result in the dismissal of her claims against the United States
with prejudice.
