Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
' 1983. After remand from the Ninth Circuit, Plaintiff is proceeding on his claims against
Defendants J. Briggs, DDS, Edgar Clark, J. Kim, A. Liberstein, Teresa Macias, William J.
McGuinness, Nereddy, J. Neubarth, H. N. Nguyen, Robert S. Pringle, DDS, P. Rouch, David
Shampain, Sisodia, and J. Wong for deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs in
violation of the Eighth Amendment. (Docs. 23, 24.) Service on Defendants of Plaintiff’s First
Amended Complaint, filed on June 13, 2013, was ordered on August 21, 2015. (Doc. 26.)
On October 9, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking to supplement/amend his pleadings to
join additional persons as defendants in this action. (Doc. 29.) Defendants filed their answer to
the First Amended Complaint on November 3, 2015. (Doc. 30.) Since Plaintiff’s motion was
filed a little less than a month prior to Defendants’ appearance, the time for filing an opposition
had lapsed. Because of the nature of Plaintiff’s motion, Defendants’ response/opposition is

essential.
