UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCOS VACA,

Plaintiff,

v.

BOWEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01327 DLB PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

“MOTION FOR RULING”

(Document 16)

Plaintiff Marcos Vaca (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff’s August 19, 2014, 

complaint is awaiting screening. 

On January 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed a document entitled, “Motion for Ruling,” in which he 

requests “a ruling on the aforementioned action. . .” ECF No. 16, at 1.

The exact nature of Plaintiff’s request is unclear. To the extent that Plaintiff seeks a ruling 

on his complaint, the Court will screen the complaint in due course. To the extent that Plaintiff 

wants to add the attachments to his complaint, he cannot do so. The Court will not accept piecemeal 

complaints. Plaintiff may file a complete amended complaint, without leave of Court, prior to the 

Court’s screening pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15.
