UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CECILIA FRAHER,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT MITCHELL, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01849-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR LEAVE 

TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE 

AND GRANTING PLAINTIFF THIRTY 

DAYS TO FILE SECOND AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

(Doc. 13)

Plaintiff Cecilia Fraher, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 14, 2013. On February 25, 2015, 

Plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to file supplemental evidence in support of her amended 

complaint, which was filed on July 28, 2014.

Although Plaintiff is entitled to seek leave to supplement her amended complaint to add 

facts relating to events which occurred after July 28, 2014, Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(d), her pleading 

must nonetheless be complete within itself without reference to prior or subsequent pleadings,

Local Rule 220. Therefore, if Plaintiff wishes to add facts or exhibits to her amended complaint, 

she must file a second amended complaint that is complete within itself without reference to her

prior pleading. In as much as Plaintiff’s amended complaint will come before the Court for 

statutory screening in the near future, 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the Court will grant Plaintiff thirty days 

within which to file a second amended complaint that is complete within itself, Local Rule 220. If

Plaintiff does not file a second amended complaint within thirty days, the Court will screen her 

first amended complaint, filed on July 28, 2014.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file supplemental evidence is HEREBY 

DENIED, and Plaintiff is GRANTED thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order 

within which to file a second amended complaint, if she elects to do so.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
