pauperis, filed this civil rights action on May 19, 2014.1

On November 9, 2014, the Court dismissed the complaint with leave to amend. Plaintiff was

21

given thirty (30) days within which to file an amended complaint. On November 19, 2014, Plaintiff

22

filed a document captioned as a “motion to file an amended complaint.” The Court denied the

23

motion on December 2, 2014, explaining that Plaintiff did not need leave to amend as he had not yet

24

filed an amended complaint. The Court informed Plaintiff that the deadline established by the

25

November 9, 2014, order remained in place.

On January 15, 2015, Plaintiff complied with the order by filing his amended complaint.
