Diana Aldaco-Corrales, et al. v. Mann Packing Co., Inc., et al.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint

Hearing Date: June 5, 2026

Plaintiffs’1 unopposed motion for leave to file their First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) is GRANTED.

The court may, at its discretion, after notice to the opposing party, allow an amendment to any pleading on any just terms. [Code Civ. Proc. § 473, subd. (a)(1).] The motion must include a copy of the proposed pleading and specify which allegations are to be deleted or added. [Cal. Rules of Ct., rule 3.1324, subd. (a).] It must also be supported by a declaration that explains: (1) the effect of the amendment; (2) why the amendment is necessary and proper; (3) when the facts prompting the amended allegations were discovered; and (4) why the request for amendment was not made earlier. [Id. at subd. (b).]

Plaintiffs have met the requirements of Rule 3.1324 and explained that the proposed FAC, attached as Exhibit A to the Declaration of William White, removes improperly named parties and adds four new defendants. [White Decl. at ¶ 5; Motion at 4.]

The motion is GRANTED. The FAC accompanying Plaintiffs’ motion is not considered filed. Instead, Plaintiffs must separately file and serve their FAC within 10 days from the date of the Order. The Court will revise the Proposed Order accordingly and sign it.
