- 1
In Barnes v. Sunpower Corporation, the court dismissed the case after the plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint by the deadline.
The plaintiff's case was dismissed, and SunPower Corporation was no longer required to litigate the case in the district court. The clerk was directed to close the file and not accept further filings.
What happened
In Barnes v. Sunpower Corporation, the court had dismissed the complaint on March 16, 2023, while allowing the plaintiff to amend it. The amended complaint was due March 30, 2023.
The plaintiff had not filed an amended complaint by the date of this order. The court therefore allowed the earlier dismissal to stand and dismissed the case. It directed the clerk to close the file and not accept further filings in the case.
The court entered the order on April 6, 2023. The opinion text does not clearly identify the judge by name, so the ruling is attributed to the court.
