Summary

Holdings
- Leave to amend should be granted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) because justice requires it, particularly given Hogan's pro se status, her stated misunderstanding regarding the complaint's required contents, and Defendant's failure to oppose the request.
- The motion to dismiss the original complaint is moot once leave to amend is granted.
Questions Presented
- Whether the pro se plaintiff should be granted leave to amend her complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2).
