No. 4:17CV1453 RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs letter (ECF No. 7), which the
Court construes as a motion to amend his complaint by interlineation. The Court
does not accept amendments by interlineation. 1 If plaintiff wishes to amend his
complaint, he must include with his motion to amend a proposed complaint that
includes each and every claim he wishes to bring against every defendant in this
action. Plaintiff is warned that the filing of an amended complaint replaces the
original complaint, and claims that are not realleged are deemed abandoned. E.g. ,

1

Popoalii v. Correctional Medical Services, 512 F.3d 488, 497 (8th Cir. 2008)

(finding that it is appropriate to deny leave to amend a complaint when a proposed
amendment was not submitted with the motion).

In re Wireless Telephone Federal Cost Recovery Fees Litigation, 396 F.3d 922, 928
(8th Cir. 2005).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Leave to Amend
(ECF No. 7) is DENIED without prejudice.
Dated this 7th day of June, 2017.
