Opinion

1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 DANA SOFT PTY LTD, Case No. 25-cv-03821-TSH 8 Plaintiff, ORDER FINDING AS MOOT MOTION ? v. TO DISMISS 10 META PLATFORMS, INC., Re: Dkt. No. 19 11 Defendant. 12

13 Pending before the Court is the motion to dismiss filed by Defendant Meta Platforms, Inc.. 14 ECF No. 19. However, on September 10, 2025, Plaintiff Dana Soft Pty Ltd filed an amended 3 15 || complaint. ECF No. 21. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1), a party “may amend its a 16 || pleading once as a matter of course” within 21 days after that pleading is served, or within 21 days 3 17 after service of a responsive pleading or motion under Rule 12. “[T]he general rule is that an S 18 || amended complaint supercedes the original complaint and renders it without legal effect.” Lacey 19 v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 927 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Thus, as there has been no 20 || previous amendment, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint as a matter of course under Rule 21 15(a). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court shall terminate the pending motion to dismiss as moot. 22 Defendant shall respond in compliance with Rule 15(a)(3). 23 IT IS SO ORDERED. 24 25 || Dated: September 10, 2025 26 ALN: Lj THOMAS S.
