UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY SCOTT FOSSUM,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRIAN LAMM, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:24-cv-01489-SAB (PC)

ORDER VACATING DECEMBER 9, 2024 

ORDER, DIRECTING COMPLAINT BE 

FILED AS FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT 

IN CASE NUMBER 1:24-cv-01374-JLT-GSA 

(PC), AND TERMINATING ACTION

(ECF Nos. 1, 3)

On December 6, 2024, Plaintiff filed this civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. (ECF No. 1.) 

On December 9, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis or pay the filing fee of this action. (ECF No. 3.) However, a review of Plaintiff’s 

complaint and the Court’s case files reveals that the complaint should have been filed as an 

amended complaint in case number 1:24-cv-01374-JLT-GSA (PC), Fossum v. Lamm, et al., but 

was inadvertently filed as a new complaint in the instant action. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The Court’s December 9, 2024, order (ECF No. 3) is VACATED;

2. The complaint filed in this action shall be filed as a first amended complaint in
