LR10.4. Amended Pleadings.

Any party filing or moving to file an amended complaint, counterclaim, third-party complaint, or answer or reply thereto shall reproduce the entire pleading as amended and may not incorporate any part of a prior pleading by reference, except with leave of court. A motion or stipulation to amend a pleading shall be accompanied by the proposed amended pleading in redline format, which must indicate in every respect how the proposed amended pleading differs from the pleading which it amends, by striking through the text to be deleted and underlining the text to be added. If granted or allowed, the amended pleading shall be filed, with redline formatting removed, and served on all parties under Fed. R. Civ. P. 5 within fourteen (14) days of the filing of the order granting leave to amend, unless the court orders otherwise.
