Rule 15.1. Form of a Motion to Amend and its Supporting Documentation
(a) Proposed Amendment Required. A party who moves to amend a pleading shall file the proposed 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, or 3rd amendment.
(b) Amendment as a Matter of Course. If a party is filing an amendment as a matter of course in response to a motion filed under Rule 12 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the party shall:
(1) File a notice that it is amending the complaint as a matter of course in lieu of responding to the motion. The "redline" version of the amended complaint shall be filed as an attachment to this notice.
(2) File the amended complaint, with all exhibits, even if such exhibits were filed with the original complaint, as a separate docket entry.
