UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 GS HOLISTIC, LLC, No. 2:23–cv–355–KJN Plaintiff, ORDER v. (ECF No. 7.) SWAG SMOKES, Defendant. 16 In this action initially filed on February 26, 2023, plaintiff alleges that defendant Swag Smokes and a John Doe infringed on plaintiff’s trademarks. (ECF No. 1.) After Swag Smokes failed to appear in the action, the Clerk of Court, upon plaintiff’s request, entered default against Swag Smokes. (ECF Nos. 5, 6.) Presently pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint. (ECF No. 7.) Plaintiff avers it has discovered the true names of the defendants, and requests leave to file a first amended complaint asserting the same allegations against the correct defendants. The motion was noticed for an August 8, 2023 hearing, and (unsurprisingly) defendant did not respond. The court finds this matter proper for resolution without a hearing. Local Rule 230(g).
