KING COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.

This is a civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter comes before

15

the Court at the present time on plaintiff’s motion to amend and supplement his complaint

16

pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Dkt. 41.) Defendants have

17

filed a response to plaintiff’s motion in which they ask that plaintiff be ordered to file a proposed

18

amended complaint before the Court considers plaintiff’s motion. (Dkt. 43.) The Court, having

19

reviewed plaintiff’s motion, defendants’ response, and the balance of the record, hereby Orders

20

as follows:

21

(1)

22
23

Plaintiff’s motion to amend and supplement his complaint (Dkt. 41) is DENIED.

Plaintiff indicates in his motion that he is seeking to add new defendants and new claims to this

action. However, as defendants correctly point out, plaintiff failed to submit with his motion a

2

proposed amended complaint. A motion to amend must be accompanied by a proposed amended

3

complaint before it will be considered by the Court. If plaintiff wishes to pursue amendment of

4

his complaint, he may file a new motion to amend and submit in conjunction with that motion a

5

proposed amended complaint which clearly identifies each of the intended defendants, the

6

federal constitutional right(s) allegedly violated by the conduct of each defendant, the facts

7

which he believes support each alleged constitutional violation, and the relief being requested.

the Honorable John C. Coughenour.
