MOTIONS TO AMEND OR SUPPLEMENT PLEADINGS

(a)  Motions to Amend or Supplement Pleadings.  The document title must describe the type of the proposed amended or supplemental pleading in the motion (i.e., motion to amend answer; motion to amend counterclaim; motion to supplement complaint).  Motions made 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 similarly effective methods -- all differences from the pleading that it is intended to amend or supplement.

     Self-represented persons who are in custody are exempted from the exhibit requirement.  All other self-represented persons may be exempted from the exhibit requirement with leave of the court.

(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 supplemental pleading.  Unless the court orders otherwise, the moving party must file and serve a complete clean copy of the amended or supplemental pleading within ten days of the order granting the motion.
