UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ASKIA ASHANTI,

Plaintiff,

v.

BARACK OBAMA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 14-cv-1644 JAM KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to amend his complaint. 

(ECF No. 74.) For the following reasons, plaintiff’s motion is denied.

Plaintiff requests that he be allowed to amend the section of the operative third amended 

complaint containing his request for relief. Plaintiff did not file a proposed fourth amended 

fourth complaint containing his proposed amendments. Because piecemeal amendments of 

complaints are not permitted, plaintiff’s motion to amend is denied.1

 

1

 Plaintiff separately filed a copy of his proposed amendments to his request for relief. (ECF 

No. 75.) The proposed amendments appear identical to the request for relief contained in the 

third amendment complaint except that they also request that cameras be installed in the 

California Health Care Facility (“CHCF”) mailroom. The only defendant in this action is 

Vanessa Martinez, an Office Assistant working in the mailroom at the CHCF. It is unlikely that 

defendant Martinez could respond to a court order for cameras to be installed in the mailroom at 

CHCF.
