UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Guillermo Trujillo (“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 

September 8, 2014. On December 22, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion for supplemental complaint 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a). (ECF No. 10.) The Court construes Plaintiff’s 

motion as a request to amend his complaint pursuant to Rule 15(a). 

Given that Plaintiff has not previously amended his complaint, he may amend once as a matter 

of right at this stage in the proceedings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). In other words, Plaintiff may amend 

his complaint without a court order. Plaintiff’s amended complaint should be complete within itself 

without reference to a prior complaint. Local Rule 220.

following service of this order.
