CASE NO. 1:25-CV-1638
JUDGE CHARLES E. FLEMING
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND
ORDER
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's amended complaint filed on December 22, 2025. (ECF
No. 6). 	In Plaintiff’s amended complaint, Plaintiff does not assert a cause of action against
Defendant Aimee Fanter, a named Defendant in Plaintiff’s initial complaint removed to this Court
on August 6, 2025. (Id. at PageID #57–58; ECF No. 1-1). Plaintiff further asserts causes of action
against several additional Defendants which were not parties to Plaintiff’s initial complaint. (Id.).
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a) requires a party obtain either Defendants’ written
consent or the Court’s leave to file an amended complaint if it has been (1) twenty-one days since
service of the initial complaint, or (2) twenty-one days since service of a responsive pleading or
motion, whichever occurs first. 	Plaintiff served the initial complaint on July 9, 2025, prior to
removal to this Court. (ECF No. 1). Defendants Judge Shiela Turner-McCall, Prosecutor Aimee
Fanter, and Prosecutor Aqueelah Jordan filed a motion to dismiss this action on September 25,
2025. Therefore, to amend the complaint as a matter of course, Plaintiff was required to file an
amended complaint by October 16, 2025. 	Plaintiff did not. 	Neither has Plaintiff obtained
Defendants’ written consent or the Court's leave to file its amended complaint as required by
Federal Rule 15(a). 	Accordingly, Plaintiff's amended complaint is hereby STRICKEN. 	The
Case: 1:25-cv-01638-CEF Doc #: 7 Filed: 01/05/26 1 of 2. PageID #: <pageID>

additional Defendants will be removed from this action, and Aimee Fanter will be re-designated
as a party to the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: January 5, 2026
