Case No. 4:16CV1077 RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion for Clarification (ECF No. 6). In the
Motion, Plaintiff seems to be clarifying his claims from his recently filed Amended Complaint
(ECF No. 5). The Court does not accept filings by interlineation. Georges v. Accutira Mortgage,
Inc., No. 4:08-CV-201 (JCH), 2008 WL 2079125, at *3 (E.D. Mo. May 15, 2008). Therefore, if

Plaintiff wishes to amend or clarify his Amended Complaint, then he must file a new amended
complaint. However, the Court cautions Plaintiff "[t]he filing of an amended complaint replaces
all previous complaints, and claims that are not realleged are deemed abandoned." Id. (citing In
re Wireless Tel. Fed. Cost Recovery Fees Litig., 396 F.3d 922, 928 (8th Cir. 2005)). If Plaintiff

wishes to amend the complaint, he must do so by filing an amended complaint that names each of
the defendants in the caption and contains all of their claims for relief. Georges, 2008 WL
2079125, at *3.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Clarification (ECF No. 6) is
DENIED. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint if he wants the Court to consider any

additional information.
