Case No. 2:14-cv-01326-JCM-NJK
ORDER

16

On July 20, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to correct the complaint such that

17

references to “Isidro Baca” are changed to “James Baca” and that references to “B. Donae” are changed

18

to “Bill Donat.” See Docket No. 21. The Court ordered Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint

19

correcting those two names but otherwise making no additional changes. Id. Plaintiff has now filed a

20

second amended complaint, Docket No. 23, which does not comply with the Court’s order. The Court

21

again ORDERS Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint correcting those two names but otherwise

22

making no additional changes. Hence, the second amended complaint must be identical to the amended

23

complaint except for the corrections to those two names. The second amended complaint must also be

24

complete in itself, and should not refer back to any previous complaints or otherwise fail to properly

25

plead each claim that is before the Court.

26

Plaintiff shall file a second amended complaint that complies with the Court’s order no later than

27

October 9, 2015. Failure to file a proper second amended complaint by that date may result in the Court

28

ordering the case to proceed under the previously-screened amended complaint.

In light of the above, the Court DEFERS ruling on Plaintiff’s motion regarding service on
Defendants Baca and Donat. See Docket No. 24.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
