Local Civil Rule 15.1 Amendment of Pleadings
(a) Motions to Amend or Supplement Pleadings. All motions made by a represented party under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2) or (d) must also include as an exhibit (1) a clean copy of the proposed amended or supplemental pleading; and (2) a version of the proposed pleading that shows—through redlining, underlining, strikeouts, or other similar typographic method—all differences from the pleading that it is intended to amend or supplement. A pro se party must include a proposed amended or supplemental pleading with a motion to amend or supplement but does not need to provide a version showing all differences from the prior pleading.
(b) Filing of Amended or Supplemental Pleading. The granting of a motion under Rule 15(a)(2) or (d) does not constitute the filing of the amended or supplemental pleading. Unless the court orders otherwise, a represented moving party must file the new pleading within seven days of the order granting the motion.
