`
`
`Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff,
`

`
`file the attached Second Amended Complaint (Exhibit A).
`
`Paragraph J of the Court’s Initial Order and Case Assignment (Dkt. 13)
`
`describes that “even where a party has amended his Complaint once or a
`
`responsive pleading has been served, the Federal Rules provide that leave to amend

`
`
`
`should be ‘freely given when justice so requires.’ F.R.Civ.P., Rule 15(a). The
`
`Ninth Circuit requires that this policy favoring amendment be applied with
`
`‘extreme liberality.’ Morongo Band of Mission Indians v. Rose, 893 F.2d 1074,
`
`1079 (9th Cir. 1990).”
`
`The Court has previously granted DSS, by either Minute Order or
`
`Stipulation, leave to amend its respective complaints in related cases DSS v. Seoul
`
`Semiconductor Co. Ltd., et al (8:17-cv-00981, Dkt. 36); DSS v. Everlight
`
`Electronics Co., Ltd et al (2:17-cv-04273, Dkt. 47); DSS v. OSRAM Gmbh et al
`
`(2:17-cv-0518, Dkt. 44); and DSS v. Lite-On Inc. et al (2:17-cv-06050, Dkt. 35).
`
`Pursuant to those orders, DSS has filed amended complaints in each case. DSS
`
`seeks leave to file a similar amended pleading in this case. DSS has met and
`
`conferred with Defendant Cree, Inc. (“Cree”) and Cree has indicated it does not
`
`oppose this motion.
