A motion focused on the judgment.
The September 2 order addresses three specific points raised in Ehab's motion: the effect of certain dismissals, the defendants listed on the judgment form, and the sequence of granting leave to amend. The court corrected those points and entered an amended judgment. Other arguments were denied, and the amended complaint remained dismissed.
