UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRY LEO KRAMER,

Plaintiff,

v.

TOM ALLMON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05451-HSG 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

IDENTIFY OPERATIVE AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Mendocino County Jail, filed this pro se civil rights complaint 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claiming that Defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious 

medical needs. On March 1, 2016, Plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed by the Court with leave to 

amend. Docket No. 9. Plaintiff has filed two amended complaints with the Court. See Docket 

No. 22 (filed on June 29, 2016) and Docket No. 23 (filed on July 1, 2016). Because the two 

amended complaints differ significantly,1Plaintiff should inform the Court by August 19, 2016

which filing is intended to serve as the operative amended complaint. Plaintiff may file a short 

statement stating: “Docket No. ___ is the operative amended complaint.” 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:

1 Docket No. 22 sets forth legal claims regarding Plaintiff’s medical treatment and names five 

defendants. See Docket No. 22-2 at 2 and 3–17. Docket No. 23 does not specify any legal claims, 

and consists of Plaintiff’s state court habeas petition, an inmate request form, an inmate grievance, 

articles regarding mental health services at Mendocino County Jail, a letter previously filed in this 

action, and an order issued in this action. See Docket No. 23. However, the complaint filed in 

Docket No. 23 names eight defendants. See id. at 2.
