UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL HERNANDEZ GONZALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRESNO SHERIFF DEPT., et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-01200-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF=S MOTION 

TO FILE PARTIAL AMENDMENT

(Doc. 10)

Plaintiff Michael Hernandez Gonzalez, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 3, 2015. On 

September 25, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to add facts and claims for relief. 

At this stage in the proceedings, Plaintiff may amend once as a matter of right without 

leave of court, Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1), but his amended complaint must be complete within itself 

without reference to his prior pleading, Local Rule 220; Lacey v. Maricopa Cnty., 693 F.3d 896, 

907 n.1 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Construed as a motion seeking leave to file a partial 

amendment, Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED. If Plaintiff wishes to file an amended complaint that 

is complete within itself without reference to his original complaint, he may do so without leave of 

court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
