UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY BRIONES,

Plaintiff,

vs.

S. FRAUENHEIM, et al.,

Defendants

Case No. 1:14 cv 00750 LJO GSA PC

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

A SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule

302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

On September 26, 2014, an order was entered, dismissing the original complaint in this 

action and granting Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint that corrected the deficiencies 

identified by the Court. On October 10, 2014, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. 

Plaintiff failed to sign his first amended complaint and on October 31, 2014, an order was 

entered, striking the first amended complaint and directing Plaintiff to file a second amended 

complaint within thirty days. Plaintiff failed to do so and on December 8, 2014, a 

recommendation of dismissal was entered on the ground that Plaintiff failed to file a second 

amended complaint. On January 29, 2015, Plaintiff filed a document styled as a notice. 

Plaintiff indicates that he would like to continue with this action. Plaintiff states that he has “met 

the federal court response for action.”

The Court will grant Plaintiff one more opportunity to file a second amended 

complaint that is signed, and is in compliance with the September 26, 2014, order. Should

Plaintiff failed to timely comply with this order, the recommendation of dismissal will be 

submitted to the District Court. Plaintiff is reminded that an amended complaint supercedes the 

original complaint, Forsyth v. Humana, Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997); King v. 

Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987), and must be “complete in itself without reference to 

the prior or superceded pleading,” Local Rule 15-220. Plaintiff is warned that “[a]ll causes of 

action alleged in an original complaint which are not alleged in an amended complaint are 

waived.” King, 814 F.2d at 567 (citing to London v. Coopers & Lybrand, 644 F.2d 811, 814 

(9th Cir. 1981)); accord Forsyth, 114 F.3d at 1474.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the 

date of service of this order in which to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiff’s failure to 

do will result in submission of the recommendation of dismissal to the District Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
