UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL NEIL JACOBSEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

OFFICER CURRAN, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE No. 1:16-cv-01050-MJS (PC)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT MOTION 

FOR ADDENDUM

(ECF No. 7)

Plaintiff is a county inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has consented to Magistrate 

Judge jurisdiction. No other parties have appeared in the action.

On September 21, 2016, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and concluded 

that it stated a cognizable Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care claim 

against Defendant Curren and Does 1 through 8, but no other cognizable claims. Plaintiff 

was ordered to either file an amended complaint curing the noted deficiencies or notify 

the Court of his willingness to proceed only on the cognizable claim. (ECF No. 6.) On 

September 29, 2016, Plaintiff filed a “Motion for Addendum” seeking to add additional 

facts to his complaint. (ECF No. 7.)

It appears that the motion for addendum was submitted prior to Plaintiff receiving 

the Court’s screening order. (See ECF No. 8.) Furthermore, Plaintiff has stated his intent

to file an amended complaint. (Id.) Accordingly, the motion for addendum (ECF No. 7) is 

HEREBY DENIED as moot. 

Plaintiff is reminded that any amended pleading must be complete in itself without 

reference to any prior pleading. Local Rule 220. See Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th 

Cir. 1967).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
