Coleman v. Little River Memorial Hospital Foundation ( 2020 )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS TEXARKANA DIVISION CAROLYN COLEMAN PLAINTIFF v. Case No. 4:20-cv-4053 LITTLE RIVER MEDICAL CENTER INC. a/k/a LITTLE RIVER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Before the Court is a Motion to Dismiss filed by Separate Defendant Little River Memorial Hospital Foundation. ECF No. 6. After Little River Memorial Hospital Foundation filed its Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint in this matter. ECF No. 10. The First Amended Complaint does not name Little River Memorial Hospital Foundation as a defendant. Because Little River Memorial Hospital is no longer a party to this litigation, the Court finds that the Motion to Dismiss should be and hereby is DENIED AS MOOT. See Pure Country, Inc. v. Sigma Chi Fraternity, 312 F.3d 952, 956 (8th Cir. 2002) (plaintiff’s filing of a motion to amend the complaint rendered the defendant’s motion to dismiss the original complaint moot). IT IS SO ORDERED, this 6th day of August, 2020. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O. Hickey Chief United States District Judge
