2024 COMMITTEE NOTE
When moving to amend or supplement a pleading, counsel should provide the court
and parties both a clean copy and a redline of the proposed amended pleading as
exhibits to the motion. If the motion is granted, counsel should file the amended
pleading or supplement within seven days. The motion, if granted, does not constitute a
filing of the amended pleading or supplement. Pro se litigants are exempt from these
requirements.
2026 COMMITTEE NOTE
Because pro se litigants often lack immediate access to technological capability to create
redlines or similar documents, they are now exempt from the requirement to provide a
separate document showing the differences between the proposed and prior pleading.
