UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BRUCE M. DIXON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

M. KROENLEIN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1039 AC P 

ORDER 

 By order filed April 28, 2016, the court screened the complaint and plaintiff was given the 

option to proceed on the original complaint as screened or to amend the complaint. ECF No. 6. 

Plaintiff was ordered to notify the court as to how he wished to proceed. Id. at 9. Plaintiff has 

now submitted a notice advising the court that he would like to amend the complaint. ECF No. 

10. The Clerk of the Court will be directed to send plaintiff a copy of the prisoner complaint 

form used in this district and plaintiff shall have thirty days to file an amended complaint. 

 Plaintiff is reminded that the amended complaint must include all of the claims he wants 

to make, including the ones that have already been found to state a claim, because the court will 

not look at the claims or information in the original complaint. In other words, any claims not in 

the first amended complaint will not be considered. Plaintiff should also refer to the instructions 

in the April 28, 2016 screening order when drafting his amended complaint and is reminded that 

if he wants to state claims against defendants Montoya and Diciro, he will need to show that that

these defendants (1) were involved in the violation of his rights; (2) knew that the people they 

were supervising were violating plaintiff’s rights and failed to stop them; or (3) created or ignored 

a policy that led to the violation of plaintiff’s rights. Simply stating that they were supervisors is 

not sufficient. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Within thirty days from the date of service of this order, plaintiff may file an amended 

complaint that complies with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice. The amended complaint must bear the docket 

number assigned this case and must be labeled “First Amended Complaint.” Plaintiff must file an 

original and two copies of the amended complaint. Failure to file an amended complaint in 

accordance with this order will result in dismissal of this action. 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of the prisoner complaint 

form used in this district.
