(a) Amendment by Motion. A party who moves for leave to amend a
pleading must attach a copy of the proposed amended pleading as an exhibit to the
motion, which must indicate in what respect it differs from the pleading which it amends,
by bracketing or striking through the text to be deleted and underlining the text to be
added. The proposed amended pleading must not incorporate by reference any part of the
preceding pleading, including exhibits. If a motion for leave to amend is granted, the
party whose pleading was amended must file and serve the amended pleading on all
parties under Rule 5 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure within fourteen (14) days of
the filing of the order granting leave to amend, unless the Court orders otherwise.
(b) Amendment as a Matter of Course or by Consent. If a party files an
amended pleading as a matter of course or with the opposing party’s written consent, the
amending party must file a separate notice of filing the amended pleading. The notice
must attach a copy of the amended pleading that indicates in what respect it differs from
the pleading which it amends, by bracketing or striking through the text that was deleted
and underlining the text that was added. The amended pleading must not incorporate by
reference any part of the preceding pleading, including exhibits. If an amended pleading
is filed with the opposing party’s written consent, the notice must so certify.
