UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MATTHEW DENNIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT KERNAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0542 JAM AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983, has filed a motion to amend the complaint. ECF No. 101. 

 The motion to amend requests to amend the complaint by adding additional exhibits 

regarding plaintiff’s claims against defendant Phui. ECF Nos. 101, 102. The motion further 

expresses plaintiff’s intent to continue filing exhibits with the court as they are received “for 

evidence and purposes of trial.” ECF No. 101 at 1-2. This case is proceeding on plaintiff’s third 

amended complaint, which has already been screened and found to state claims for relief against 

defendant Phui, ECF No. 51, making any additional attachments unnecessary.1

 The motion will 

therefore be denied and the exhibits disregarded. Plaintiff should not file any further motions to 

amend while this case is stayed. 

1

 Plaintiff is further advised that he should not file exhibits with the court unless they are attached 

to and being used in support of or in opposition to a pending motion.
