DEXTER BROWN,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:14-cv-0338 JAM AC P
v.
ORDER
PURUSHOTTAMA SAGIREDDY, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42
17
18
U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed a motion to amend the complaint, stating that he seeks to add
19
additional claims and defendants based on recent events. ECF No. 91.
Leave to amend is to be freely given “when justice so requires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2).
20
21
However, plaintiff fails to attach the required copy of his proposed amended complaint that
22
would allow the court to determine whether leave to amend would be appropriate. See Fed. R.
23
Civ. P. 15; L.R. 137(c). Furthermore, given the age of this case and that the motion indicates the
24
new claims arose within the last few months, it appears likely that the claims and defendants he
25
seeks to add though amendment would not be properly joined. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 18, 20.
