CompFox AI Summary
Plaintiff Ivan Anzures, an employee of Empire Roofing, was injured in May 2010 after falling through an uncovered skylight on a building. He initiated a lawsuit alleging state law negligence and premises liability claims against various Prologis entities and Elizabeth Rodriguez. The case was removed to federal court, and Rodriguez was later dismissed for improper joinder. Plaintiff sought leave to file a second amended complaint to add Prologis, Southern Roof, and Empire Roofing as defendants, and a new negligent hiring claim against Prologis. The Court granted the motion to add Prologis and Southern Roof, and the negligent hiring claim, finding sufficient diligence and lack of futility. However, the motion to add Empire Roofing as a defendant was denied due to concerns about diversity jurisdiction and the plaintiff's lack of diligence, as Empire Roofing had been known since the litigation's outset and was already designated as a responsible third party. The Defendant's motion for summary judgment was subsequently denied as moot.
