MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
On March 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed an “Amended G Request for Relief” (Doc. No. 38). The
request is DENIED. It appears Plaintiff wishes to amend his complaint to assert various new
forms of relief. (See id.)
Plaintiff may not amend his third amended complaint by simply filing piecemeal supplements.
Rather, he must file the a motion to amend his complaint and attach the entire proposed fourth
amended complaint. The plaintiff may not incorporate by reference his original or his first,
second, or third amended complaint into the proposed fourth amended complaint. The fourth
amended complaint must stand alone; it must contain all of the plaintiff’s claims. Mink v.
Suthers, 482 F.3d 1244, 1254 (10th Cir. 2007) (stating that “an amended complaint supercedes
an original complaint and renders the original complaint without legal effect”) (internal
quotations and citations omitted).
