Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 01-2110 LKK PAN P

vs. Order

Prebula, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoPlaintiff is state prisoner without counsel. In firstamended complaint plaintiff alleges defendant Sauhkla, upon

instruction from defendants Prebula and Gavia, drafted a

memorandum authorizing plaintiff’s transfer from California

Medical Facility (CMF) to High Desert State Prison (HDSP) and Dr.

received inadequate medical care at HDSP.

In an amended complaint a party may replead or add facts or

claims arising prior to or contemporaneously with the allegations

of the original complaint. See United States v. Hicks, 283 F.3d

380, 385 (D.C. Cir. 2002); Flaherty v. Lang, 199 F.3d 607, 613 

n. 3 (2d. Cir. 1999). In a supplemental pleading a party may

allege “transactions or occurrences or events which have happened

since the date of the pleading sought to be supplemented.” Fed.

R. Civ. P. 15(d).

The supplemental complaint alleges that September 27, 2005,

a gastro-intestinal specialist recommended plaintiff be

transferred to a medical facility if he cannot receive six small

meals daily and 30 mg of Prevacid twice daily. This allegation

does not support plaintiff’s claims against defendants. 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s November 1, 2005, motion is denied.

So ordered.

Dated: January 24, 2006.
