UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Curtis Renee Jackson is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

This action is proceeding on Plaintiff’s second amended complaint against Defendants Dye and 

Mills for deliberate indifference to a serious medical need. Defendants filed an answer to the amended 

complaint on February 12, 2015. On March 30, 2015, Plaintiff filed a response to Defendants’ 

answer. (ECF No. 22.) 

Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides as follows:

There shall be a complaint and an answer; a reply to a counterclaim denominated as 

such; an answer to a cross-claim, if the answer contains a cross-claim; a third-party 

complaint, if a person who was not an original party is summoned under the provisions 

of Rule 14; and a third-party answer, if a third-party complaint is served. No other 

pleading shall be allowed, except that the court may order a reply to an answer or a 

third-party answer.

CURTIS RENEE JACKSON,

 Plaintiff,
