Case No.: 1:14-cv-00995-BAM (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO AMEND HIS COMPLAINT AS
UNNECESSARY
(ECF No. 6)

17

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma

18

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on June

19

25, 2014. On July 7, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion to amend his complaint. He also filed a first

20

amended complaint.

21

Plaintiff has not previously amended and therefore, he may amend once as a matter of right at

22

this stage in the proceedings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). As Plaintiff does not need leave of court to file

23

an amended complaint and his first amended complaint has been filed, his motion is HEREBY

24

DENIED as unnecessary. Plaintiff’s first amended complaint will be screened in due course.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
