ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT WITHOUT

PREJUDICE IN LIGHT OF

AMENDED COMPLAINT; ORDER

DISMISSING AMENDED

COMPLAINT FOR FAILURE TO

STATE A CLAIM

vs.

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LENDER, et al.,

Defendants.

On August 10, 2009, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a motion for summary

judgment. On August 25, 2009, the Court received from Plaintiff an Amended Complaint

which appears to state different claims than the original Complaint. In light of the Amended

Complaint, the Court DENIES the pending motion for summary judgment without prejudice.

Furthermore, the Court DISMISSES Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim.

The Amended Complaint is largely incomprehensible and does not provide the Court with

any idea of what Plaintiff claims each defendant did to violate his rights under federal law

and/or state law. 

The Court grants Plaintiff leave to file a Second Amended Complaint correcting the

DATED: August 27, 2009
