United States District Court

Eastern District of California

William J. Blue,

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 05-1256 GEB PAN P

vs. Order

N. Grannis, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoPlaintiff is a prisoner, without counsel, prosecuting this

civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action is

proceeding on plaintiff’s June 23, 2005, complaint. Defendants

have not answered. August 26, 2005, and November 16, 2005,

plaintiff submitted papers styled, “supplemental complaint.”

In an amended complaint a party may replead or add facts or

claims arising prior to or contemporaneously with the allegations

of the original complaint. See United States v. Hicks, 283 F.3d 

380, 385 (D.C. Cir. 2002); Flaherty v. Lang, 199 F.3d 607, 613

n. 3 (2d. Cir. 1999). A supplemental complaint addresses matters

occurring after the original complaint is filed. Fed. R. Civ. P.

15(d). The August 26, 2005, and November 16, 2005, pleadings

allege events and transactions occurring around August and

September 2005. Accordingly, the paper is a supplemental

complaint.

A supplemental pleading “shall be retyped and filed so that

it is complete in itself without reference to the prior or

superseded pleading.” Local Rule 15-220.

Plaintiff has not complied with Local Rule 15-220.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s supplemental complaint is stricken

but without prejudice to plaintiff serving and filing a

supplemental complaint that complies with the court’s rules. 

So ordered.

Dated: January 5, 2006.
