UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VAN J. ROSS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PADRES LP, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 17-CV-1676 JLS (JLB)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART

MOTION TO AMEND

(ECF No. 27)

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Van J. Ross’s Motion to “Reinstate and 

Amend” Complaint. (ECF No. 27.) The Court’s most recent order granted Defendants’ 

motion to dismiss and dismissed Plaintiff’s Complaint. (See ECF No. 25.) In the order, 

the Court allowed Plaintiff to amend his complaint within thirty days from when the order 

was published. (Id. at 15.) Therefore, Plaintiff does not need to request leave to amend 

his complaint, he just needs to file an amended complaint. The Court cannot “reinstate” 

his original complaint because it was dismissed.

Because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, his complaint is held to less stringent 

standards that formal pleadings. See Garmon v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 828 F.3d 837, 846 

(9th Cir. 2016) (citations omitted). This is especially true in civil rights cases. See id. 

Accordingly, the Court construes Plaintiff’s filing as a motion for extension of time to file 

an amended complaint and GRANTS IN PART Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend, (ECF No.
