No. CV 11-1807-PHX-JAT

ORDER

On June 14, 2012, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file a supplement to the first amended

complaint to allow this Court to independently review its jurisdiction. Plaintiff filed a second

amended complaint. An amended complaint completely supersedes the prior complaint.

Forsyth v. Humana, Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, a party cannot

use an “et al.” designation on an amended complaint. Additionally, the Court allowed a

supplement to the amended complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(d), not a

completely amended complaint under 15(a). For both of these reasons, the second amended

complaint, filed without leave of Court, is improper.

Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED striking the second amended complaint (Doc. 47).

 Plaintiff is cautioned that saying “none of the individuals or partners of Amberwood

Homes, Roll Tide, L.L.P, Summerset, or Winston Casas are citizens of Colorado or New

York” is inadequate to plead jurisdiction. Plaintiff must name every member or partner and

state their citizenship to allow this Court to independently consider its jurisdiction.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file the supplement required by this

Court’s order of June 14, 2012, by June 28, 2012.1

DATED this 26th day of June, 2012.
