C 08-03192 JW ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S DOCUMENT ENTITLED "AMEND TO CASE" FROM THE DOCKET United United States District Court 11 For the Northern District of California 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The San Jose Mercury News, et al., Defendants. / On November 17, 2008, the Plaintiff filed a document with the Court titled "Amend to Case No. C 08-03192 JW." (See Docket Item No. 10.) The Court construes the roughly seventy-page filing as an Amended Complaint intended to remedy the defects of Plaintiff's previously dismissed Complaint. On October 30, 2008, the Court adopted Magistrate Judge Lloyd's Recommendation that Plaintiff's Complaint be Dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). (See Docket Item Nos. 4, 8.) The Court dismissed Plaintiff's Complaint without leave to amend. (See Docket Item Nos. 8.) The Court also entered Judgment in favor of the Defendants and ordered the Clerk of Court to close this case's file. (See Docket Item No. 9.) Pursuant to the Court's October 30, 2008 Order, Plaintiff was denied leave to amend his original Complaint. Thus, Plaintiff's filing of an Amended Complaint is improper. Further, if Plaintiff seeks to proceed with any viable claims he may have, he must first seek to set aside the October 30, 2008 Judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Accordingly, Plaintiff's November 17, 2008 Amended Complaint is ordered STRICKEN from the docket.
