UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY HOWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. L. DeAZEVEDO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00101-AWI-SKO PC 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S SECOND

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A SECOND

AMENDED COMPLAINT

(Doc. 35)

Plaintiff TimothyHoward, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 20, 2011. On December 26, 2012,

Plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to amend. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Defendants did not file a

response, and on January 29, 2013, the Court denied the motion. Local Rule 230(l).

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s second motion to amend, filed on January 25, 2013. 

Defendants did not file a response. 

Plaintiff’s second motion is largely duplicative of his first motion and it was filed because

Plaintiff believed his first motion had been lost. The Court already ruled on Plaintiff’s first motion

and it declines to revisit that ruling. However, given that Plaintiff added a request to correct his

prayer for relief, Plaintiff is notified that he need not be concerned about amending his prayer for

relief, as he is not limited to the damages amount set forth in his amended complaint. Fed. R. Civ.

P. 54(c).
