UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL MOOTRY,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. G. FLORES, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-01252-LJO-BAM PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO

AMEND OBJECTIONS AND STRIKING

OBJECTIONS TO THE FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF No. 51, 52)

Plaintiff Michael Mootry (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

dismiss for failure to state a claim, the court generally considers only the pleadings and must accept

v. Operating Engineers Local 428 Pension Trust Fund, 332 F.3d 1198, 1201, 1203 (9th Cir. 2002). 

A court may consider evidence that the complaint relies on, where the complaint refers to a

document that is central to the complaint and no party questions the authenticity of the document. 

Marder, 450 F.3d at 448; see United States v. Ritchie, 342 F.3d 903, 908 (9th Cir. 2003). Plaintiff’s

opposition sets forth new evidence and facts which are not included in his complaint and may not
