ORDER Granting 9 Motion to Amend the Complaint signed by Magistrate Judge William M. Wunderlich on 01/30/2009. Amended Complaint due by 3/9/2009. (Attachments: # 1 1983 Amended Complaint)(Flores, E)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 1 Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint. Good cause appearing, the motion should be granted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a). Plaintiff is advised that the court cannot refer to a prior pleading in order to make plaintiff's amended complaint complete. Local Rule 15-220 requires that an amended complaint be complete in itself without reference to any prior pleading. This is because, as a general rule, an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. See Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th Cir. 1967). Once plaintiff files an amended complaint, the original pleading no longer serves any function in the case. Therefore, in an amended complaint, as in an original complaint, each claim and the involvement of each defendant must be sufficiently alleged. In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended complaint is granted.
