UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERHAN KAYIK,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. SAUCEDO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-1401 WBS CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of civil 

rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 28, 2024, plaintiff filed a document titled “Notice of 

Submission of Proposed Amended Complaint.” The document is part supplement to his operative 

May 16, 2022, second amended complaint, part request for leave to amend, and part request to

follow-up after receiving initial responses or something similar. The reason provided by plaintiff 

is not a valid reason. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the requests made in the document filed by 

plaintiff on June 28, 2024, are denied and, to the extent the document is presented as a 

supplemental pleading, it is stricken.
