UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

LEON LEE MEYERS,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS AND

REHABILITATION, 

Defendants. /

No. C 14-3123 RS (PR)

ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT

WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this federal civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983 in which he raises Eighth Amendment medical treatment claims against 

medical staff at Salinas Valley State Prison. He has filed a complaint (Docket No. 1), a

supplement to the complaint (Docket No. 4), and a notice of a list of defendants to be served

(Docket No. 25). It is unclear from these several documents what constitutes the operative

complaint in this action. Accordingly, plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint

on or before May 15, 2015. The first amended complaint must include the caption and civil

case number used in this order (14-3123( RS (PR)) and the words FIRST AMENDED

COMPLAINT on the first page. Because an amended complaint completely replaces the

previous complaints, plaintiff must include in his amended complaint all the claims he wishes

to present and all of the defendants he wishes to sue. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258,

1262 (9th Cir. 1992). Plaintiff may not incorporate material from the prior complaint by

reference. Failure to file an amended complaint in accordance with this order will result in

dismissal of this action without further notice to plaintiff. 

It is plaintiff’s responsibility to prosecute this case. Plaintiff must keep the Court

informed of any change of address by filing a separate paper with the clerk headed “Notice of

Change of Address.” He must comply with the Court’s orders in a timely fashion or ask for

an extension of time to do so. Failure to comply may result in the dismissal of this action

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The Court notes that the filing fee has

been paid. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
