Plaintiff,

v.

BROWN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00205 DLB PC

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT

THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Bruce A. Rouse (“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 filed his complaint in the 

United States District Court for the Northern District of California on March 6, 2013. The Court 

dismissed the complaint without leave to amend on March 22, 2013.

On June 18, 2014, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part. 

The Court determined that Plaintiff should be granted leave to amend to allege a claim for damages 

against Defendants Brown and Beard in their individual capacities. The Court affirmed the 

dismissal on all other grounds.

On February 5, 2015, the Northern District transferred the action to this Court.
