Case No. 1:21-cv-01599-AWI-BAM (PC)
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO AMEND COMPLAINT AS MOOT
(ECF No. 15)

SANTORO, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Ronald W. F. Joshua Loureiro, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro

18
19

se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On March 2, 2022, the Court screened the complaint and directed Plaintiff to file an

20
21

amended complaint or a notice of voluntary dismissal within thirty days. (ECF No. 10.)

22

Following an extension of time, Plaintiff timely filed a first amended complaint together with a

23

motion for leave to file an amended complaint on May 5, 2022. (ECF Nos. 15, 16.)

24

In his motion, Plaintiff requests leave to amend the original complaint to add additional

25

defendants and claims to cure the deficiencies identified by the Court’s screening order. (ECF

26

No. 15.) As the Court already granted Plaintiff leave to file a first amended complaint in the

27

Court’s March 2, 2022 screening order, the motion is unnecessary.

28

////

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to amend, (ECF No. 15), is DENIED as moot. The first
amended complain will be screened in due course.
