Defendants.
This matter is before the court for case management. Since filing a
Complaint on October 17, 2016, Plaintiff Thomas Duane Strawder has filed at least
nine pleadings and motions, containing hundreds of pages, seeking to supplement
his Complaint. Most recently, Plaintiff filed eight motions requesting various
forms of relief, an additional supplement to his Complaint, and a brief. (See Filing
Nos. 33- 42.) The court will no longer permit the piecemeal filing of supplemental
pleadings in this case.
The court will give Plaintiff leave to file one amended complaint that
identifies each defendant by name and states all of his claims (and any supporting
factual allegations) against that defendant. Plaintiff is ordered not to file any other
amended pleadings or supplements to his pleadings, aside from the one
contemplated in the preceding sentence, without first obtaining leave of the court
as required by Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Rule 15.1 of
the local rules of this court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Plaintiff must file an amended complaint within 30 days that identifies
each defendant by name and states all of his claims (and any supporting factual
allegations) against that defendant. Failure to do so will result in the court
dismissing this action without prejudice and without further notice for failure to
prosecute it.
2.
Plaintiff is ordered not to file any other amended pleadings or
supplements to his pleadings, aside from the one contemplated in the preceding
paragraph, without first obtaining leave of the court as required by Rule 15(a) of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Rule 15.1 of the local rules of this court.
3.
In light of the foregoing, Plaintiff’s pending motions (Filing Nos. 3342) are denied as moot.
