ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

REQUEST TO FILE AMENDED

COMPLAINT

[Docs. 74, 78]

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 26, 2006, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal dismissed

plaintiff’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Now pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to

amend the complaint filed October 27, 2006.

Because the defendants have not yet been served with this action, plaintiff’s motion to amend

the complaint is HEREBY GRANTED. While plaintiff attempts to amend the complaint by

including amended claims in his motion, in order to include these new claims and parties, plaintiff

must file a third amended complaint because Local Rule 15-220 requires that an amended complaint

be complete in itself without reference to any prior pleading. Accordingly, plaintiff is granted 30

days in which to file a third amended complaint as described in his motion of October 27, 2006.
