UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Rodney O’Neal Brown (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on July 

29, 2014. On August 14, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint to reflect the 

true name of a defendant. (ECF No. 5.) 

Plaintiff has not previously amended and he therefore may amend once as a matter of right at 

this stage in the proceedings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). As Plaintiff does not need leave of court to file 

an amended complaint, his motion is HEREBY DENIED as unnecessary. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 15, 2014 /s/ Barbara A. McAuliffe _
