MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINTPlaintiff CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) hereby applies to this Court pursuant to
Rule 15(a) and Rule 21(a) of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure for leave to amend its
complaint in this action, Plaintiff makes this motion on the grounds that it has discovered
two new entities, First Colony Merchant (“Merchant”) and Tobian Trading Limited
(‘Tobian”), that are the alter egos of Judgment Debtor John Edwards (“Edwards”). As
alleged in Plaintiff's proposed Third Amended Complaint, Merchant and Tobian (and thus
Edwards) have rights to certain loan proceeds that should be applied to the outstanding
judgment against Edwards.
If this motion is granted, Plaintiff also respectfully asks this Court to permit Plaintiff
to serve Defendants Wells Fargo, Global Stack Transfer, LLC, Helen Bagley, Stacy Ewing,
and Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, Inc., with the Third Amended
Complaint. Plaintiffs has not yet served these defendants with the Second Amended
Complaint, but Plaintiff is not adding any new claims against these Defendants, and
Plaintiff is ready and able to personally serve these Defendants with the Third Amended
Complaint.
This motion is based upon the attached memorandum of points and authorities, all
pleadings and papers on file herein, the attached Declaration of Bill Frizzell, and any oral
argument that this Court may entertain on the matter.

te MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
15 lll. This Court Should Grant Plaintiff's Request For Leave To Amend
16 A. Legal Standard for Motions to Amend
7 After a responsive pleading has been filed in an action, the plaintiff may amend its
18 ll complaint by leave of court, and “leave to amend a pleading shall be freely given when
19 Tliustice so requires.” NRCP 15(a); Adamson v. Bowker, 85 Nev. 115, 120 (1969). Absent.
20 || reasons to deny a motion to amend — such as undue delay, bad faith, or dilatory motives on
21 |lthe part of the moving party — leave should typically be granted. See, e.g., Kantor v.
22 || Kantor, 116 Nev. 886, 891 (2000). In addition, a party may be joined in an action together
23 || with other defendants “if there is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the
24 | alternative, any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction,
25 |] occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences and if any question of law or fact
26 || common to all defendants will arise in the action.” NRCP 21(a)
