UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEROME MARKIEL DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CARLOS BOLANOS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01605-SI 

ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 20

The court has waited several months for plaintiff to file an amended complaint. On 

September 17, 2019, the court dismissed the complaint with leave to amend, requiring plaintiff to 

file an amended complaint by October 28, 2019. Docket No. 13. The deadline to file the amended 

complaint was later extended to December 6, 2019, and then again to January 10, 2020. Docket 

Nos. 17, 19. 

Plaintiff recently sent a letter to the court in which he stated that he did not receive his “reamend complaint.” Docket No. 20. The court is unsure whether plaintiff means that he did not 

receive the December 3, 2019 “order re. amended complaint” or means that he has not received an 

amended complaint form. If he is aware of an order, he is expected to comply with it, regardless of 

whether he physically possesses it. If he thinks there is a special amended complaint form that he 

needs to use, he is mistaken because there is no separate form for an amended complaint. Plaintiff 

can use the court’s civil rights complaint form and simply write “amended complaint” and the case 

number for this case on the first page of that form to make it his amended complaint. Alternatively, 

he can use blank paper to write his amended complaint without using the form. 

The clerk will mail to plaintiff another copy of the civil rights complaint form for plaintiff 

to use in preparing his amended complaint.
