Upon consideration of the arguments on file and those made at the hearing, and for the

Plaintiff is again reminded that the court cannot refer to a prior pleading in order to make an
amended complaint complete. Local Rule 220 requires that any amended complaint be complete
in itself without reference to prior pleadings. The second amended complaint will supersede the
amended complaint just as the amended complaint superseded the original complaint. See Loux
v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th Cir. 1967). Thus, in the second amended complaint, just as if it
were the initial complaint filed in the case, each defendant must be listed in the caption and
identified in the body of the complaint, and each claim and the involvement of each defendant
must be sufficiently alleged. The second amended complaint must also include concise but
complete factual allegations describing the conduct and events which underlie plaintiff’s claims.
