UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNETH HILL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DIRECTOR OF CORRECTIONS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-3409-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to the court’s January 23, 2013 schedule, any motions to amend were to 

be filed by April 23, 2013. ECF No. 13. On September 9, 2013, without explanation, plaintiff 

filed an amended complaint. ECF No. 29. Plaintiff’s pleading is unauthorized and will be 

stricken from the docket. 

 In addition, plaintiff has filed a motion for attorney’s fees. ECF No. 30. Plaintiff’s 

motion is baseless. First, he is proceeding pro se and is not entitled to attorney’s fees. Second, 

even assuming he was represented by counsel, there has been no proceeding that would warrant 

payment of attorney’s fees in this action.
