UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESUS LOPEZ MUNGUIA, Civil No. 07-1016 J (AJB)

Plaintiff, ORDER RE: MOTION FOR LEAVE

TO FILE AN AMENDED

vs. COMPLAINT

J. FRIAS, D. POLLARD, G. SIOTA, R.

SUTTON, A. LOPEZ, W. GRIGGS,

Defendants.

Plaintiff, an inmate proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. [Doc. No. 1.] Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File an

Amended Complaint. [Doc. No. 6.] 

Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[a] party may amend the party’s

pleading once as a matter of course at any time before a responsive pleading is served.” Fed.

R. Civ. P. 15(a). Defendants have not yet served a responsive pleading, and Plaintiff has not

yet filed an amended pleading. Plaintiff may therefore file a First Amended Complaint

without seeking leave of the Court. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File an

Amended Complaint is moot. The Court reminds Plaintiff that the amended complaint must

be complete in itself without reference to the original complaint. See Local R. 15.1. All
