UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHANAEL JAMES CARTER, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. MURPHY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:24-cv-0165 CKD P

ORDER

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

action seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On January 8, 2025, plaintiff filed what the court construes to be a motion for leave to 

amend his complaint. Plaintiff’s motion was not, however, accompanied by a proposed amended 

complaint. As a litigant proceeding in forma pauperis, plaintiff’s pleadings are subject to 

evaluation by this court pursuant to the in forma pauperis statute. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Because 

plaintiff did not submit a proposed amended complaint, the court is unable to evaluate it. 

Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend must therefore be denied.
