||
MOVING PARTY: Plaintiff Kelly Daniela Perez
Alonso
RESPONDING PARTY: Unopposed

by the amendment. (Code Civ. Proc.,

[“‘ “California courts ‘have a policy of great liberality in allowing
amendments at any stage of the proceeding so as to dispose of cases upon their
substantial merits where the authorization does not prejudice the substantial
rights of others’ ” ’”].) The court
therefore grants Plaintiff’s motion.
