UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRACY L. STEWART,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-00322-DAD-BAM-PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTIONS FOR SCREENING AND 

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT COMPLAINT 

WITH EXHIBITS

(ECF NOs. 23, 24, 25)

Plaintiff Tracy Stewart is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court are Plaintiff’s motions for screening 

filed on March 28, 2016, and June 20, 2016, (ECF Nos. 24, 25), and to supplement his amended 

complaint with exhibits filed on January 15, 2016. (ECF No. 23.)

On September 13, 2016, findings and recommendations were entered, recommending that 

this action proceed on the December 30, 2015, first amended complaint on Plaintiff’s First 

Amendment and Eighth Amendment claims. Plaintiff’s motions for screening are therefore 

moot. Regarding Plaintiff’s motion to supplement the amended complaint with exhibits, Plaintiff 

is advised that for screening purposes, the Court must assume Plaintiff’s factual allegations are 

true. It is unnecessary for a plaintiff to submit exhibits in support of allegations in the complaint.
