STIPULATED MOTION TO AMEND CASE TITLE

RICARDO S. MARTINEZ, Chief District Judge.

STIPULATION

The parties herein, appearing through counsel, have agreed to present the following stipulated motion to the Court to amend the case caption in the above-captioned matter to reflect the addition of Robert Sanders as plaintiff-intervenor in this matter.

MOTION

A. Relief Requested.

Amendment of the title of this case to read as follows, "UNITED STATES EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, ROBERT SANDERS, Plaintiff-Intervenor v. BIG 5 SPORTS., a Delaware corporation, Defendant.

B. Facts.

The original Complaint in this matter, pursuant to FRCP 10(a), was titled, "UNITED STATES EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. BIG 5 SPORTS., a Delaware corporation, Defendant." On September 1, 2017, Robert Sanders was granted leave by the Court to intervene as a plaintiff. See, Dkt. 10.

C. Argument.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 10 states that "[e]very pleading must have a caption with the court's name, a title, a file number, and a Rule 7(a) designation. The title of the complaint must name all the parties." Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a) (emphasis added). Because of the addition of Mr. Sanders to this case, the original title no longer accurately reflects the parties to this case. As such, the title for this case should be amended to, "UNITED STATES EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Plaintiff, ROBERT SANDERS, Plaintiff-Intervenor v. BIG 5 SPORTS., a Delaware corporation, Defendant.

CONCLUSION

By stipulation pursuant to LCR 10(g), the parties respectfully request that the Court grant this Motion.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
