UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PEDRO RODRIGUEZ,

Inmate Booking No. 14745493,

Civil No. 14cv2646 LAB (DHB)

Plaintiff, ORDER: 

(1) DENYING MOTION TO

AMEND COMPLAINT WITHOUT

PREJUDICE; AND

(2) GRANTING EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE A FIRST

AMENDED COMPLAINT

vs.

ROBERT S. STALL; LAURA

ENGREM; F. MICHAEL GARCIA;

OFFICE OF ASSIGNED COUNSEL,

Defendant.

Pedro Rodriguez (“Plaintiff”), currently housed at the Vista Detention Facility

located in Vista, California, and proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights complaint

(“Compl.”) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. No. 1). 

Plaintiff has not prepaid the civil filing fee; instead he has filed a Motion to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (Doc. No. 3). On

November 26, 2014, this Court granted Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed IFP but sua sponte

dismissed his Complaint for failing to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

Instead of filing a First Amended Complaint, Plaintiff has filed a “Motion to

Amend Complaint” in which he seeks to add two additional Defendants. (Doc No. 7.)

In this Motion, Plaintiff indicates that he is seeking to “add” to his original Complaint.

However, Plaintiff’s Complaint has been dismissed and there currently is no operative

pleading in this matter. Plaintiff has been given leave to file an Amended Complaint and

he may choose to add these additional Defendants to that pleading.

CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend his Complaint (Doc. No. 7) is DENIED.

2. Plaintiff is GRANTED sixty (60) days leave from the date of this Order in

which to file an Amended Complaint which cures all the deficiencies of pleading noted

in the Court’s November 26, 2014 Order. Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint must be

complete in itself without reference to his original pleading. See S.D.CAL.CIVLR. 15.1. 

Defendants not named and all claims not re-alleged in the Amended Complaint will be

considered waived. See King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). 

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of a form § 1983 complaint.

DATED: January 12, 2015
