UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY GOODS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CARLSON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:20-cv-00416-DAD-JDP (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT AND 

MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME 

AND GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTIONS TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING 

ORDER

ECF No. 57, 58, 60, & 64

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, filed this action alleging that 

defendants Carlson, Illa, Lim, and Soltanian-Zadeh violated his Eighth Amendment rights by 

failing to treat a stab wound inflicted by another inmate. ECF No. 14. Defendants filed an 

answer, ECF No. 43, and plaintiff now moves to amend his complaint, ECF No. 58. Defendants 

do not oppose plaintiff’s motion. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint is 

granted and he must file an amended complaint within thirty days of entry of this order. 

Plaintiff is warned that his second amended complaint may only include claims that are 

related to those contained in his original complaint; unrelated claims against multiple defendants 

belong in separate suits. He is also reminded that the amended complaint will supersede the 

current complaint. See Lacey v. Maricopa Cnty., 693 F. 3d 896, 907 n.1 (9th Cir. 2012) (en

banc). Accordingly, plaintiff’s amended complaint must be complete on its face without 

reference to the prior pleading. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 220.

Additionally, plaintiff moved for an extension of time to complete discovery and 

defendants moved to modify the scheduling order. ECF Nos. 57, 60, & 64. Good causing 

appearing, those motions are granted. The deadline for completing discovery is extended to 

October 21, 2022, and the deadline for filing dispositive motions is extended to January 19, 2023.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion to amend complaint, ECF No. 58, is granted.

2. Plaintiff shall file a second amended complaint within thirty days of the date of this 

order.

3. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time, ECF No. 60, and defendants’ motions to 

modify the scheduling order, ECF Nos. 57 & 64, are granted. 

4. The deadline for completing discovery is extended to October 21, 2022.

5. The deadline for filing dispositive motions is extended to January 19, 2023.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
