How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that where plaintiff failed to offer adequate justification for the delay of two years from the date of 'filing the complaint, denial of leave to amend to add factually similar claims was proper where it affected defendants’ “planned trial strategy and tactics.”
- denying plaintiff's amended pleadings that added three additional claims where these new theories of liability were based on same facts as pled in original complaint
- affirming denial of motion to amend more than two years after the filing of the original complaint where there was no justification for the delay
- finding prejudice to opponent of late-filed motion to amend even where further discovery was unnecessary; the additional claims \may well have affected defendants' planned trial strategy and tactics\ and would likely have \required additional time to prepare for trial\
