UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAVON C. DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CORDOVA, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-02072 DLB PC

ORDER DISREGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO FILE FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

[ECF No. 12]

Plaintiff Lavon C. Davis, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on December 29, 2014. 

On April 17, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint. On 

the same date, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint. 

Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits a party to amend its pleading 

once as a matter of course within 21 days of serving it, or 21 days after service of a responsive 

pleading. In this case, the initial complaint had not yet been screened and served. Accordingly, 

Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint was filed as a matter of course. Plaintiff’s motion for leave 

to file the amended complaint is thus disregarded as unnecessary.
