UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK J. BOOTH,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAWN SANTOS,

Defendant.

No. 2:23-cv-0509 CKD P

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. On August 24, 2023, plaintiff’s amended complaint was screened under 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A(a). The amended complaint was dismissed for failure to state a claim and with leave to 

amend. Plaintiff was informed in that order:

[Th]e court cannot refer to a prior pleading in order to make 

plaintiff’s second amended complaint complete. Local Rule 220 

requires that any amended complaint be complete in itself without 

reference to any prior pleading.

ECF No. 11 at 3.

Plaintiff has filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint consists 

of the amended complaint, exhibits, and a memorandum providing additional facts, legal 

argument, and disagreements with portions of the court’s August 24, 2023, screening order.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s second amended complaint is stricken for violation of the terms of the 

court’s August 24, 2023, screening order.

2. Plaintiff is granted 30 days within which to file a second amended complaint that 

complies with the court’s August 24, 2023, screening order.1 If plaintiff files a second amended 

complaint which is not in material compliance with the court’s prior screening order, the court 

will recommend that this action be dismissed under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure for failure to follow court orders. 

Dated: May 20, 2024

1 Again, plaintiff is reminded that if he files a second amended complaint it must be complete 

within itself. While including exhibits is not prohibited, they will not take the place of a 

description in the complaint of the events at issue (i.e., the who, what, where, and how details that 

explain the basis of the legal claims).
