2021-10-11MINUTE ORDER granting Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint, ECF No. 18 . The addition of NARA as a party and the amendment of Plaintiff's complaint is warranted under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 15, 20, and 21. NARA has custody and control over some of the records that Plaintiff originally sought from the FBI. The request to NARA that Plaintiff seeks to join thus arises from a common demand under FOIA. Litigation of such a common demand has the potential to create efficiencies for both the parties and the District Court as a whole, as all matters will be before the same judge. Additionally, the FBI will not be prejudiced by the amendment and addition of NARA. Although the FBI has completed its search, it is awaiting review by other government agencies as to 227 pages, and it has not offered a date by which those reviews will be completed. See Joint Status Report, ECF No. 23 . Prejudice to the FBI in terms of delay therefore is uncertain at this juncture. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court shall accept Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint, ECF No. 18-1, for filing, and it shall become the operative pleading in this case. Signed by Judge Amit P. Mehta on 10/11/2021. (lcapm3) (Entered: 10/11/2021)
