Plaintiff satisfies the standard of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), and
therefore his motion to amend, Dkt. 4, is GRANTED.

Plaintiff shall file any amended complaint within 30 days of the date this Order is
21
signed. Any amended complaint must carry the same case number as this one and must be filed

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN
AMENDED COMPLAINT - 1
1
v. Cnty. of San Bernardino, 806 F.3d 1002, 1008 (9th Cir. 2015). Thus, any amended complaint
2
must clearly identify the defendant(s), the constitutional or federal statutory claim(s) asserted, the
3
specific facts that plaintiff believes support each claim, and the specific relief requested.
4
In addition, plaintiff may submit copies of his grievances, but he should not submit
5
additional evidence along with his complaint. Plaintiff may only file evidence in support of or
6
opposition to a motion that seeks action from the Court.

(3)
The Clerk is directed to send plaintiff the appropriate forms so that he may file an
8
amended complaint. The Clerk also is directed to send copies of this order to plaintiff, to the
9
Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, and to the Honorable John C. Coughenour.
