FAQ
You might just call the other side and tell them that an amended complaint will be filed, making the demurrer moot. Or just file it before the hearing.
In most circuits, including the 3rd, 6th and 8th Circuits, an amended complaint automatically moots a pending motion to dismiss and creates a duty to respond to the amended complaint. Other circuits, however, recognize exceptions to the majority rule.
A motion for leave to amend complaint or petition is a request made by the plaintiff or petitioner to the court to allow them to make changes or additions to their original complaint or petition.
The court may deem a motion to file an amendment to a pleading to be a motion to file an amended pleading and require the filing of the entire previous pleading with the approved amendments incorporated into it.
If a case cannot be removed immediately but becomes removable later, the defendant has 30 days from the receipt of the amended complaint or pleading that makes the case removable.
A motion to dismiss may continue to operate when the amended complaint contains the same claim or defects as the original complaint.
To defend against a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, you should be prepared to show the judge that the other party has had “contact” with the state where you have filed the case, s/he was served in the state, or there is some other reason why the court has jurisdiction.
You will need to go back to the court where your order was issued and file modification forms. There will probably be a new hearing on the issue. You may also want to consult with an attorney to see if filing for a modification is appropriate under the circumstances of your case.
Ing to local San Diego Superior Court Rule 3.2. 1, for criminal motions (made by a defendant after charges have been filed) you have to give at least 15 days notice to the other party and allow an extra 5 days for the papers to reach them by mail.
Basically, you can amend the complaint once as a matter of right. But you must do it before the defendant files a responsive pleading. Or you must do it before the due date for an opposition to a demurrer or motion to strike.
