HENRY JOHN MULLER III,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1390 GEB GGH PS

vs.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF ORDER

DEPARTMENT, et al., 

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, proceeding in pro se, moves to file a second amended complaint. This

matter is assigned to the undersigned pursuant to E. D. Cal. L. R. 72-302(c)(1). Plaintiff’s

motion, and defendant’s opposition thereto, were heard on October 19, 2006; plaintiff Henry

John Muller III appeared and represented himself; Jeri L. Pappone represented defendants.

Plaintiff’s motion seeks to: (1) add claims under Monell v. Department of Social

Services, 436 U.S. 658, 98 S. Ct. 2018 (1978), and (2) substitute defendant Deputy Sheriff

Kristina Mendoza Albright for improperly named defendant Deputy Sheriff Christina Louis

Albright. By order filed September 22, 2006, the court set plaintiff’s motion for hearing and

vacated without prejudice the parties’ respective motions for summary judgment.

For the reasons stated on the record, the court denied plaintiff’s motion but noted

that: (1) the Monell claims are clearly identified in the parties’ motions for summary judgment,
