IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL MCNEIL,

Plaintiff, CV F 03 5823 REC WMW P

vs. ORDER RE MOTION (DOC 42)

 A. BRADISH, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint, along with a

proposed second amended complaint. The court has previously found that the first amended

complaint states a claim for relief, and has directed service of process upon defendants. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, plaintiff may amend his complaint once, as a

matter of right, without leave of court. Plaintiff is advised, however, that should he proceed on

the second amended complaint, the court will vacate the earlier order directing service of

process. The court will then review the second amended complaint and, if appropriate, direct

plaintiff to complete and submit to the court the forms for service of process. Should plaintiff

decide to proceed on the first amended complaint, he should inform the court within thirty days. 

Should plaintiff fail to respond to this order within thirty days of the date of service, the court

will vacate the earlier order finding that the first amended complaint stated a claim for relief.

Plaintiff is further advised that should he decide to proceed on the first amended

complaint, he will not be prejudiced from filing a later motion to file a second amended

complaint once an answer has been filed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall advise the court,

within thirty days of the date of service of this order, whether he intends to proceed on the first

amended complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
