ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO

FILE AN AMENDED

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff, a civil detainee at Coalinga State Hospital in Coalinga, California, filed

this pro se civil rights complaint alleging that his constitutional and civil rights were

violated by certain parole officials in Alameda County when he was out on parole. He

claims that Defendants violated his rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the

Americans with Disabilities Act and various constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. §

1983. Applying a two-year statute of limitations, the Court dismissed the claims as

untimely. On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found that

a three-year limitation period applies to Plaintiff’s ADA claims, and that Plaintiff should

be granted leave to amend to allege facts that render his Section 1983 and Title VII

claims timely under a two-year statute of limitations. The Ninth Circuit reversed this

Court’s judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.

Pursuant to the remand order from the Ninth Circuit, Plaintiff is GRANTED leave

to file an amended complaint within twenty eight (28) days from the date this order is

filed in which he alleges facts that render his claims under Section 1983 and Title VII

timely. Plaintiff is advised to use the Court’s complaint form. The amended complaint

must include the caption and civil case number used in this order (No. C 09-4341 JSW

(PR)) and the words “COURT-ORDERED FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT” on the

first page. Moreover, because an amended complaint completely replaces the original

complaint, see Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992), Plaintiff may not

incorporate material from the original by reference. In other words, if he files an

amended complaint, he must not only cure the deficiencies in his claims under Section

1983 and Title VII, but he must also include his ADA claims in his amended complaint

or they will no longer be a part of this case. Failure to amend within the designated time

and in accordance with this order will result in the dismissal of his claims under, and the

case will only proceed on the basis of his claims under the ADA. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: March 31, 2015
