UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANKLIN H. WRIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

POPS MCGOVERN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-05525-RS 

ORDER STRIKING AMENDMENT TO 

COMPLAINT

In response to the prior order dismissing pro se plaintiff Franklin H. Wright’s initial 

complaint with leave to amend, plaintiff has filed an amendment to the dismissed complaint. This 

filing must be stricken pursuant to Civil Local Rule 10-1, however, which provides that a party 

filing or moving to file an amended pleading “must reproduce the entire proposed pleading and 

may not incorporate any part of a prior pleading by reference,” as plaintiff attempts to do. The 

Ninth Circuit furthermore has instructed that an amended complaint supersedes the prior 

complaint, and must be complete unto itself without reference to prior or superseded pleadings. 

See King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). If plaintiff wishes to file an amended 

complaint, it therefore must stand without reference to other pleadings; and must be timely filed 

according to the prior order granting plaintiff’s request for extension of time (Docket No. 18). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 20, 2015
