Plaintiff,
v.
DOUG WADDINGTON, et al,

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN
AMENDED COMPLAINT

Defendants.

11

This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s filing of a motion for leave to file an

12

amended complaint. Dkt. 64. In his motion, plaintiff states that since the filing of his original

13

complaint, he has discovered evidence that will further substantiate his claims and would like to

14

add that evidence to his case. Id.

15

As defendants point out in their opposition to the motion, plaintiff has not attached a copy

16

of his proposed amended complaint as required by Local Rule LCR 15. For this reason, the Court

17

is denying plaintiff’s motion, but will give plaintiff to re-file his motion in accordance with LCR

18

15. Plaintiff should be aware that should he choose to re-file, in addition to “attach[ing] a copy of

19

the proposed amended pleading as an exhibit to” the motion, he “must indicate on the proposed

20

amended [complaint] how it differs from [his original complaint] by bracketing or striking

21

through the text to be deleted and underlining or highlighting the text to be added.” Id. Further,

22

“[t]he proposed amended pleading must not incorporate by reference any part of the preceding

23

pleading, including exhibits.” Id.

Accordingly, if plaintiff still wishes to amend his original complaint he must by no later

2

than January 19, 2018, (1) file a motion for leave to amend his original complaint, (2) attach a

3

copy of his proposed amended complaint, indicating on the proposed amended complaint how it

4

differs from the original complaint by bracketing or striking through the text to be deleted and

5

underlining or highlighting the text to be added, and (3) not incorporate by reference any part of

6

his original complaint, including exhibits attached to the original complaint.
