UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOMINIQUE MERRIMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. LOWRY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 19-cv-1445 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with this civil rights action seeking relief 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 15, 2020, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint. Plaintiff’s 

motion was not, however, accompanied by a proposed amended complaint. As a prisoner, 

plaintiff’s pleadings are subject to evaluation by this court pursuant to the in forma pauperis 

statute. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Because plaintiff did not submit a proposed amended complaint, 

the court is unable to evaluate it.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend (ECF 

No. 29) is denied without prejudice.

Dated: April 20, 2020
