UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Emanuel Sanchez-Gonzales is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff declined United States magistrate judge 

jurisdiction; therefore this matter was referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(1)(B) 

and Local Rule 302. 

On July 11, 2016, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. However, Plaintiff did not sign 

the second amended complaint under penalty of perjury. All filings submitted to the Court must bear 

the signature of the filing party. Local Rule 131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s 

second amended complaint must be stricken from the record as deficient, and Plaintiff will be required 

to file a second amended complaint with an original signature under penalty of perjury in order for the 

case to proceed.
