UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL ANTONIO GONZALEZ III,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. RAZO, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-01098-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

TRANSFER EXHIBITS FILED IN CASE 

NUMBER 1:15-CV-00680-DLB (PC) TO 

THIS CASE 

(Doc. 4)

Plaintiff Manuel Antonio Gonzalez III (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on July 16, 2015. Concurrently with his 

complaint, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting to transfer the exhibits he filed in case number 1:15-

cv-00680-DLB (PC), which was closed on May 28, 2015, to this case.

Pleadings must be complete within themselves at the time of filing, and there are no 

circumstances justifying deviation from this general rule.1 Local Rule 220. Furthermore, 

although Plaintiff is not precluded from attaching exhibits to his complaint, it not necessary; this is 

the pleading stage, not an evidentiary stage. For these reasons, Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY 

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 17, 2015 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
