UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MORRIS LEE MESTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. M. KIM, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. CV-F-04-6580 REC SMS P

ORDER NOTIFYING PARTIES THAT

PLAINTIFF’S SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLAINT

AND MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF SHALL BE TREATED

SOLELY AS A MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

(Doc. 67)

Plaintiff Morris Lee Mester (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on

plaintiff’s complaint filed on November 12, 2004, against defendants Kim, Sacks, Neubarth,

Nicholes, Robinson, Plaza, and Malfi (“defendants”) on plaintiff’s claim that they violated the

Eighth Amendment by acting with deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. On April

12, 2006, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Supplemental Complaint in Addition to Existing

Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction.” (Doc. 67.) 

Plaintiff may not supplement his complaint without leave of court, and leave of court has

been neither sought nor granted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(d). In addition, in no event would the court

permit plaintiff to file one document that combined both a pleading and a motion for preliminary

injunctive relief.
