IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EARL GARDNER, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1174 FCD CMK P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, Warden, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed an

amended complaint. Once an answer has been filed, a party may amend a pleading only by leave

of court or by written consent of the adverse party. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). An answer was

filed on December 6, 2006. Plaintiff has filed neither a motion to amend nor a stipulation to

amend the complaint signed by all parties. Plaintiff’s amended complaint will therefore be 1

stricken, and this action will proceed on the complaint filed September 26, 2006.
