ORDER DISREGARDING LODGED

AMENDED COMPLAINT 

Plaintiff, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 8, 2006, the court received an amended

complaint from plaintiff. Under Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may

amend the party’s pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is

served. Otherwise, a party may amend only by leave of the court or by written consent of the

adverse party, and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 15(a). 

In this case, a responsive pleading has been served. Therefore, plaintiff may not file an amended

complaint without leave of the court. The amended complaint lodged on March 8, 2006 is

therefore disregarded and the Clerk of the Court is directed to return the amended complaint to

plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
