ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO
DOCKET PLAINTIFF’S FIRST AMENDED
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff Rodney Jamaar Smith (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in
17
18
forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this
19
action on August 25, 2020. (ECF No. 1.)
On August 28, 2020, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and granted Plaintiff leave
20
21
to file a first amended complaint within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 6.)
Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint for screening
22
23
order requirements, filed September 8, 2020. (ECF No. 7.) Although titled as a motion to amend,
24
the filing appears to be Plaintiff’s first amended complaint. (Id.) As Plaintiff has already been
25
granted leave to amend by the Court’s August 28, 2020 screening order, Plaintiff’s motion to
26
amend is unnecessary. The motion is therefore denied as moot. Plaintiff’s first amended
27
complaint will be screened in due course.

3
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to docket Plaintiff’s September 8, 2020 filing, (ECF No.
4
7), as the first amended complaint.
