Civil L.R. 15. Amended and Supplemental Pleadings
(a) 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 and may not incorporate any prior pleading by reference.
(b) A motion to amend a pleading must state specifically what changes are sought by the proposed amendments. The proposed amended pleading must be filed as an attachment to the motion to amend.
(c) If the Court grants the motion to amend, the party must promptly file the amended pleading. If a responsive pleading is required, any party that has appeared in the action and was served with the proposed amended pleading must serve an answer or other responsive pleading within fourteen (14) days after the Court grants the motion to amend. The time for a party that has not appeared in the action to serve an answer or other responsive pleading begins to run when that party is properly served with the amended pleading.
