ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

RETURN PLAINTIFF’S PROPOSED

AMENDED COMPLAINT

(Doc. 67)

Plaintiff Elroy W. Browning (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 11, 2006, plaintiff

submitted a proposed amended complaint.

Plaintiff may not file an amended complaint without seeking permission from the court. Fed.

R. Civ. P. 15(a). Plaintiff’s proposed amended complaint was not accompanied by a motion seeking

leave of court to amend and setting forth the grounds for amendment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b). The

court will not expend its resources doing a line by line comparison between the original and

proposed amended complaints in an effort to determine what has been amended. Plaintiff bears the

burden of filing a motion informing the court of the relief he seeks and the grounds for the relief.
