(ECF Nos. 5, 9)

Plaintiff Michael Witkin, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on August 2, 2012 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF

appeal documentation meant to be included as Exhibit 10 to his Complaint. (ECF No. 5.)

On September 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Extend Time to File a Notice re Consent

The Notice of Lodging (ECF No. 5), construed as a motion to supplement the

Complaint, is denied. Amended pleadings must be complete within themselves without

reference to another pleading. Partial amendments are not permissible. Local Rule 220.

A plaintiff may not supplement as to events occurring prior to the date of the pleading to

be supplemented. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(d). Here Plaintiff seeks to impermissibly file a partial

amendment supplementing the operative pleading. Plaintiff presently may file an amended

complaint as a matter of course and without Court approval if he so desires. Fed. R. Civ.

P. 15; Local Rule 220. Plaintiff may not file evidence with the Court at this time. The Court

is not a repository for evidence.

The Motion to Extend Time (ECF No. 9) is denied as moot. Plaintiff filed his Consent

to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction (ECF No. 7) with the Court on September 21, 2012.

Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ordered that Plaintiff’s Notice of

Lodging (ECF 5) and Motion to Extend Time (ECF No. 9) are DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
