UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GUILLERMO TRUJILLO CRUZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

LT. J. OSTRANDER, S. SAVOIE, 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-0994-AWI-JLT (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO WITHDRAW FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

(Doc. 11)

THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff’s complaint was recently screened and found to state a cognizable First Amendment 

retaliation claim against CO Savoie and a Fourteenth Amendment equal protection claim against 

Lt. Ostrander. (Doc. 8.) Plaintiff was then directed to file a notice as to whether he wished to 

proceed on the complaint as screened, to stand on his complaint, or to file a first amended 

complaint. Shortly thereafter, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. (Doc. 10.) Plaintiff has now 

filed a motion titled “Plaintiff Request for the Courts to Return the Incomplete Amended 

Complaint,” which the Court construes as a motion to withdraw the first amended complaint and 

leave to file a second amended complaint. (Doc. 11.) Good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS

that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion to withdraw (Doc. 11) is GRANTED;

2. The first amended complaint (Doc. 10) is STRICKEN; 

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