UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff James Garrett (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis 

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on April 20, 2015. 

On June 1, 2016, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. (ECF No. 7.) 

Plaintiff timely filed a first amended complaint on June 24, 2015. (ECF No. 10.) On February 1, 2016, 

the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, with leave to amend. (ECF No. 11.) 

On February 24, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary injunction. (ECF No. 12.) By a 

separate order, the Court issued findings and recommendations with regard to that motion. Plaintiff 

also stated in that motion that his second amended complaint was attached as an exhibit to that motion, 

for filing. However, the Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s filings, including the nearly 100 pages of 

exhibits to that motion, and has not located any amended complaint.
