This was the only motion I filed that was truly a mistake on my part. I filed a Motion for Leave under Rule 15(a) because I thought I had to, based on what opposing counsel and the magistrate said during the small claims hearing. There were no major changes — just an update that I was no longer living at the property. The motion was never ruled on.
After arbitration, I studied the relevant laws more closely and realized I didn’t need to file a motion for leave at all, and that I also needed to add defamation to the complaint. I withdrew the motion on December 2, 2024 as that is what is supposed to happen if you file something by mistake and not in bad faith.
